A simple strawberry tiramisu recipe. Easy to make and incredibly delicious, the perfect dessert for the strawberry season.

Strawberries! Strawberries!

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

For some reason, I have always associated strawberries with youth, with perfection. The perfect shape of a strawberry, that deep red color, those tiny seeds that give them that look of somebody taking particular care in adorning them and making them beautiful… strawberries are just irresistible, I really don’t know anybody who can honestly say, that they can resist a nice, ripe, juicy strawberry (well, probably only people with a strawberry allergy).

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

What do you need?

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.

Dairy:

• Mascarpone
• Heavy cream
• Low-fat quark: very commonly used in German desserts. It can be replaced with lower-fat cream cheese, fromage frais or blended cottage or farmer’s cheese.

Syrup:

• I often use elderflower syrup because I always have it in the pantry.
• However, strawberry, 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.

How to make?

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

Make the strawberry sauce:

• Clean all the strawberries.
• Weigh 200 g/ 7 oz of them and puree them with a little sugar. Refrigerate until needed.
• Chop the remaining strawberries into small cubes.

Filling:

• Beat the heavy cream until stiff.
• Mix together the mascarpone and quark. 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 ¼ of the pureed strawberries on top.
• Cover with half of the mascarpone mixture.
• Repeat one more time: ladyfingers + ¼ of the strawberry puree + mascarpone mixture.
• 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 set in the refrigerator overnight.
• Cover the assembled dessert with plastic foil/ cling film and refrigerate overnight.
