Strawberry Tiramisu Recipe

The best ever strawberry tiramisu dessert, made with creamy mascarpone cheese and imported Italian ladyfingers cookies that are dipped in a vanilla strawberry puree. 

Strawberry Tiramisu with Mascarpone and Ladyfingers

Unlike the original version, this easy, no bake dessert is made without coffee, without alcohol and If you so choose without eggs.
 
For those of you who feel uncomfortable having raw egg yolks in your dessert, feel free to leave them out. Simple as that! I won’t lie tough, It is so much fluffier and luscious with them 😉

However, it is very important to carefully beat the mascarpone on very low speed or by hand to just get it creamy and smooth. If whipped too hard in a mixer, the mascarpone might become grainy with a cottage cheese like texture because of its high fat content. So keep that significant detail in mind If going that route 😉

 Bowl of Fresh Strawberries

If making it the classic way using raw egg yolks, remember to only use extra fresh, organic and free range eggs. 
 
I used wine glasses to create a trifle look, however fell free to use a plate and springform pan as I did here with my Limoncello Cake, or use a deep glass dish as I did here with my espresso Tiramisu Cheesecake.

This classic recipe is also kid friendly, but If you plan to make this for a grown up brunch or a Holiday party, I would probably add some dark rum or orange liqueur to the strawberry puree. Because really, why not ..? 😉

Ingredients
  • 12 oz strawberries
  • 1 cup strawberries - sliced
  • 4 egg yolks -organic
  • 1 lb mascarpone cheese

  • 1 tsp Zing™ Baking Blend
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 7 oz lady fingers cookies

    This looks amazing. I love strawberries so much, so this is perfect for me. I haven’t tried Zing before, but it sounds really cool to me. Thanks for sharing

    Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits I don’t think I have ever tried tiramisu before. I will have to try this recipe out.

      Hi Rachel, Tiramisu is a no bake dessert, there is no custard to be cooked. Traditionally the mascarpone filling gets its magic from the creamy raw egg yolks. I always suggest using organic fresh eggs. Enjoy ! ~ Florentina
