Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package ladyfingers
  • 1/2 cup strawberry juice or coffee
  • Cocoa powder for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Slice 2 cups of fresh strawberries and sprinkle them with 1/4 cup of sugar. Let them sit for 15 minutes to release their juices.
  2. Make the Mascarpone Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend 1 cup of mascarpone cheese until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese.
  3. Layering the Tiramisu: Dip each ladyfinger into 1/2 cup of strawberry juice or coffee and layer them in a dish. Spread a layer of mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers. Add a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients, ending with a layer of mascarpone filling on top.
  4. Chilling Time: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld and the tiramisu to firm up.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder. Garnish with additional fresh strawberries if desired.

Notes

For best results, use ripe, fragrant strawberries.
You can substitute strawberries with other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor.
Serving the tiramisu in individual glasses can make for an elegant presentation.
