Strawberry Tiramisu

What is Tiramisu? The word Tiramisu in Italian means “cheer me up”, which is very appropriate because one bite of this delicious and creamy Strawberry Tiramisu dessert will put you in a good mood! An authentic Tiramisu dessert has 2 main layers: sponge cake ladyfingers soaked in coffee and or liqueur and the mascarpone cream layer.

I prefer to use freshly brewed coffee to soak the ladyfingers cookies as I enjoy the flavor the coffee brings out in the dessert.  I also want to make it appropriate for my kids to eat too!  The addition of the fresh strawberries adds sweetness and texture to this traditional tiramisu recipe and it’s become my favorite way to prepare this creamy dessert.

What You Will Need to Make Strawberry Tiramisu

• Fresh Strawberries
• Sugar
• Mascarpone Cheese

• Heavy Whipping Cream
• Vanilla Extract

How To Make Strawberry Tiramisu

In a medium-size bowl, stir together the sliced strawberries and sugar.  Let stand for 20-25 minutes.

In a large-size bowl, beat the mascarpone and confectioners’ sugar with a mixer at low speed until smooth and creamy.  Add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla, and beat at high speed just until stiff peaks form.

Pour the brewed coffee in a shallow dish and quickly dip the flat side of half of ladyfingers into the coffee.  Be sure to use tongs to handle the ladyfingers cookies if the coffee is still hot.

Arrange the ladyfingers cookies in a 9×11 glass baking dish or similar dish, and overlap the cookies slightly.

Spread half of the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfingers, and spoon strawberries onto mascarpone mixture.

Dip remaining ladyfingers cookies into brewed coffee and gently press onto strawberries.  Next spread the remaining mascarpone mixture onto ladyfingers.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving or up to overnight.

Sift cocoa powder and espresso powder onto Strawberry Tiramisu just before serving.
