Ingredients (Serves 8)
- 500 g (18 oz) mascarpone cheese
- 4 eggs
- 100 g (½ cup) sugar
- 400 g (14 oz) fresh strawberries
- 1 package ladyfingers (savoiardi biscuits)
- 150 ml (⅔ cup) strawberry juice or light strawberry syrup
Preparation Time
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Chilling Time: 4 hours minimum
- Total Time: About 4 hours 20 minutes
Instructions
1. Prepare the Strawberries
Wash and hull the strawberries.
Cut them into small pieces and set aside. Reserve a little more than half of them for the top layer and decoration.
2. Make the Mascarpone Cream
Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
Add the mascarpone and mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula. This will keep the cream light and airy.
3. Soak the Ladyfingers
Pour the strawberry juice or syrup into a shallow dish.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the liquid. Avoid soaking them too long, as they can become too soft.
Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish.
4. Assemble the Tiramisu
Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
Add a layer of chopped strawberries.
Repeat the layers:
- Soaked ladyfingers
- Mascarpone cream
- Strawberries
Finish with a generous layer of mascarpone cream on top.
5. Decorate
Arrange the reserved strawberries on the surface of the tiramisu.
For an elegant touch, you can also add:
- Fresh mint leaves
- Powdered sugar
- White chocolate shavings
6. Chill
Place the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
For the best flavor and texture, prepare it the day before serving.
