    strawberry tiramisu dessert with sauce and ladyfingers

    Here's a simple strawberry tiramisu recipe. It's easy to make and incredibly delicious, the perfect dessert for strawberry season.

    Strawberries! Strawberries! Who doesn't like strawberries, the symbol fruit of late spring and early summer, red, little, aromatic jewels?

    Tiramisu is a dessert favorite around here. From a classic, luscious tiramisu to apple tiramisu or orange tiramisu. Or this amazing tiramisu cake. Or Tiramisu Cups.

    Recipe ingredients

    Strawberries: Fresh, ripe, sweet and juicy ones.

    Ladyfingers: The bought ones are perfectly fine. However, if you would like to make your own, here is a well-explained ladyfingers recipe (the link opens in a new tab).

    Dairy: Mascarpone and heavy cream. Low-fat quark is very commonly used to make German desserts, but it can be replaced with lower-fat cream cheese, fromage frais, blended cottage cheese, or farmer's cheese.

    Syrup: I often use elderflower syrup because I always have it in the pantry. However, strawberry syrup, raspberry, or any other syrup you have will be fine. You don't have to make your own syrup for the strawberry tiramisu recipe, the bought syrup is fine.

    See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    How to make strawberry tiramisu?

    This is such an easy recipe, just a bit of stirring and layering of ingredients.

    Strawberries: Blend 7 oz/ 200 g of the strawberries and refrigerate them. Chop the remaining strawberries into small cubes.

    Filling: Beat the heavy cream until stiff. Mix mascarpone and quark in another bowl and carefully fold in the whipped cream. Add lemon juice to taste and fold in the chopped strawberries.

    Assemble the dessert: Place half of the ladyfingers in a rectangular casserole dish. Pour half of the syrup over them. Spread ยผ of the pureed strawberries on top. Cover with half of the mascarpone mixture.

    • Repeat one more time: ladyfingers + ยผ of the strawberry puree + mascarpone mixture.

    Serve: Save the rest of the strawberry puree in the fridge, covered, until ready to serve. Spread it on top of the strawberry dessert just before serving.

    Make in advance

    You can definitely make the strawberry tiramisu in advance. Actually, you should do it the day before because it needs to be set in the refrigerator overnight.

    Cover the assembled dessert with plastic foil/ cling film and refrigerate overnight.

        Fruits make it fresher and more suitable for summer, I think.
