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 😉
The best Italian strawberry tiramisu dessert made with creamy mascarpone cheese and imported ladyfingers that are dipped in a vanilla strawberry puree.
- 12 oz strawberries
- 1 cup strawberries - sliced
- 4 egg yolks -organic
- 1 lb mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp Zing™ Baking Blend
- 1 tsp Zing™ Baking Blend
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 7 oz lady fingers cookies
- 2 tbsp lemon balm leaves or basil -for garnish
- 1/2 lemon -juiced
- Using a hand held mixer beat together the heavy cream and 1 tbsp of Zing Baking Blend until whipped. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- In a separate bowl beat together the egg yolks, vanilla extract and 2 tbsp of Zing Baking Blend until creamy. Start adding the mascarpone cheese one dollop at the time and whisk until incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped cream and set aside.
Add the whole strawberries to the bowl of a food processor together with 1 teaspoon of Zing Baking Blend and the lemon juice. Process until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness with more Zing™ if desired.
- Prepare one glass trifle bowl or 6 small wine glasses for the Tiramisu.
- If assembling your strawberry Tiramisu in the wine glasses, make sure to break the lady fingers in half before layering.
- Dip the lady fingers in the strawberry puree and layer them in the bottom of the glasses. Add a few of the sliced strawberries on the sides of the glasses or just sprinkle them on top of the lady fingers.
- Spoon a dollop of the Mascarpone whipped cream filing on top. Layer with strawberry puree dipped lady fingers again and finish with another dollop of the mascarpone filing.
Garnish with the lemon balm leaves and extra strawberry slices.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.

I love tiramisu, interesting way to make it. Looks good. My computer is lagging on your site, maybe remove some popups.
Sorry about that Kristen, not sure why that happened to you, there should be only 1 PopUp Emmail form, nothing else.
I am drooling over here! Because I am in love with everything about this recipe! you have just spoken to my heart! Oh my yum!!!!
Oh yes, I saved you a glass 😉
It sounds so good but I am a bit hesitant about feeding folks the filling with raw egg yolks
Did I miss cooking the custard?
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
