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

- 12 oz strawberries
- 1 cup strawberries - sliced
- 4 egg yolks -organic
- 1 lb mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
