Description
This Strawberries Cream Tiramisu is a luscious and refreshing twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining the rich creaminess of mascarpone and whipped cream with the sweet tartness of strawberry jam and freeze-dried strawberries. Ladyfingers soaked in a subtle triple sec and cream mixture create a tender base layered with the mascarpone cream and strawberry layers, making it a perfect no-bake dessert for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
Mascarpone Cream
- 3 tbsp confectioners’ sugar
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 16 oz mascarpone, room temperature
- 3 cups heavy cream (for soaking ladyfingers)
Ladyfingers and Soaking
- 48 ladyfingers
- 2/3 cup triple sec
Strawberry Layer and Garnish
- 1 (13-oz) jar strawberry jam
- 3 tbsp crushed freeze-dried strawberries
Instructions
- Prepare Mascarpone Cream: In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or using a handheld mixer in a large bowl, beat confectioners’ sugar and 3 cups of heavy cream on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 3 minutes. Avoid whipping to stiff peaks. Add the mascarpone and beat just until combined; the mixture will loosen.
- Soak Ladyfingers: In a shallow dish or long container large enough to fit the ladyfingers, combine triple sec and the remaining 3 cups of heavy cream. Dip each ladyfinger into the triple sec cream mixture on both sides for about 30 seconds total until they begin to soften but do not fall apart.
- Assemble Tiramisu: Line the bottom of a 13″ x 9″ baking dish with two rows of 24 dipped ladyfingers placed vertically. Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Stir the strawberry jam to loosen it if needed, then gently spread it over the mascarpone layer, being careful not to blend the layers.
- Repeat Layers and Chill: Repeat the process with the remaining 24 ladyfingers and mascarpone cream. Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 3 hours or up to overnight to allow it to set and flavors to meld.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the top with crushed freeze-dried strawberries for added texture and strawberry flavor.
Notes
- Use room temperature mascarpone to ensure it blends smoothly without lumps.
- Do not soak ladyfingers too long or they will become soggy and fall apart.
- Refrigerate tiramisu for a minimum of 3 hours to let it properly set; overnight chilling enhances the flavor.
- For an alcohol-free version, substitute triple sec with orange juice or a flavored syrup.
- Freeze-dried strawberries add a nice crunchy contrast and intensified strawberry flavor when sprinkled on top.
