Strawberry tramisù! Strawberries are red, sweet and irresistible; they’re the long-awaited fruit of the season, finally in market stalls ready to be enjoyed – on their own or as an ingredient for the most sumptuous of desserts. So why not make a sweet strawberry tiramisù? It’s the perfect end to a meal and it makes a great snack for the little ones, too! We suggest using only the ripest strawberries with some mascarpone and savoiardi ladyfingers for a soft and creamy dessert that everyone will love. Preparing it is quick and easy: you will need sweet yet firm strawberries – to slice them without breaking the skin. And then there’s the fresh mascarpone cheese and ladyfingers soaked in a cream made of strawberries and sugar. Here’s the recipe:
How to make strawberry tiramisù
Strawberry tiramisù ingredients:
1 lb strawberries, 1 lb mascarpone cheese, 6 eggs, 4 oz sugar + 2 oz syrup, 1 glass of water, 13 oz ladyfinger biscuits, 1 tablespoon Cointreau
Strawberry tiramisù recipe
First, separate the yolks from the egg whites. In a bowl, whip the sugar and egg yolks until the mixture is nice and frothy. Add the mascarpone cheese followed by the egg whites whipped to form firm peaks. Fold the mixture with a wooden spoon from top to bottom – to avoid dismantling the whites. Let the cream rest in the fridge for two hours. Separately, slice the washed, ripe strawberries vertically and purée two thirds of them using a blender. Make the syrup with 2 oz of sugar, one tablespoon Cointreau and water. Mix well and add strawberries. Dip the ladyfingers in strawberry cream and place them in an ovenproof dish. Cover a first layer of ladyfingers with mascarpone cream, followed by a second layer of ladyfingers soaked in strawberry syrup and finished with the cream. Cover your tiramisù with plastic wrap and let it cool in the fridge for at least an hour. Before serving, decorate with sliced strawberries.
