Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 24 ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese (about 8 ounces)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10 minutes to help the cream whip faster.
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. In a separate bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
- In a small saucepan, combine strawberry jam, lemon juice, and water. Heat until smooth and then let cool to room temperature.
- Dip each ladyfinger lightly into the cooled strawberry syrup and layer them in an 8×8 or 9×9 dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then add a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat the layers, ending with cream and strawberries on top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Garnish with fresh mint and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- Do not soak ladyfingers too long or they’ll become soggy.
- Letting the tiramisu chill overnight improves the texture and taste.
- You can substitute mascarpone with softened cream cheese if needed.
