This Strawberry Tiramisu is a delightful dessert made with creamy mascarpone cheese, fresh strawberries, and ladyfingers soaked in coffee and strawberry jam. A fruity, light, and refreshing variation of the classic tiramisu!
For the Cream Filling:
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup sugar
8 oz mascarpone cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Strawberry Layer:
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
½ cup strawberry jam
For the Ladyfingers and Coffee Layer:
1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
24 ladyfinger cookies
For Garnish:
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1. Prepare the Cream Filling:
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and sugar together until soft peaks form.
In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese with the vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined and creamy.
2. Prepare the Strawberry Layer:
In a small bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the strawberry jam. Stir until the strawberries are evenly coated and let them sit for a few minutes to release some juice.
3. Assemble the Tiramisu:
In a shallow dish, pour the cooled brewed coffee. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee, ensuring it is moist but not soggy.
Layer the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish or individual glasses.
Spread a layer of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
Add a layer of the strawberry jam mixture on top of the cream, followed by another layer of dipped ladyfingers.
Repeat the layers until the dish is filled, finishing with a final layer of mascarpone cream.
4. Garnish and Chill:
Sift the cocoa powder over the top of the tiramisu for garnish.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve chilled, and enjoy the fresh, fruity, creamy goodness of this strawberry-infused tiramisu!
For an extra indulgent touch, you can drizzle some extra strawberry jam or fresh strawberry slices on top before serving.
If you prefer a boozy version, you can add a splash of rum or marsala wine to the coffee.
