How to Make Strawberry Tiramisu Recipe

This recipe comes together simply with just layers of biscuits, fruit, and cream. This strawberry tiramisu is the perfect summertime dessert!

Whisk Together Fruit and Juices: In a small bowl, whisk the strawberry preserves, orange juice and lemon juice. Set aside.
Mix Cream: In another bowl, use either a stand mixer or a hand mixer to beat the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Line Pan and Layer: Dip the ladyfingers in the strawberry mixture on both sides to coat entirely. Line the bottom of a 9×9 square pan with a single layer of dipped ladyfingers. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the top, followed by half of the sliced strawberries in an even layer.
Repeat: Add one more layer of dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture on top. Use the remaining strawberries to create a pretty top.
Cover and Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight, or at least 8 hours.

What are Ladyfingers?

Ladyfingers or Savoiardi are light, fluffy biscuits with a slightly crunchy texture. They are made in a finger-like shape, hence the name. Ladyfingers absorb a lot of liquid which makes them perfect in no bake desserts. Once they have soaked up wet ingredients, they become soft, buttery and cake-like. Aside from Tiramisu, they are also great in cheesecakes and Charlotte cake. This strawberry tiramisu is the best combination!

Tips for Making The Best Tiramisu

Although this is a super easy dessert to put together, a few simple tips can really give you the best outcome and flavor in this strawberry tiramisu!

Preparing Ahead of Time: It is best to make this a few hours to a day before serving to ensure the biscuits completely absorb moisture to create a cake-like texture.
Picking Strawberries: To have the freshest strawberries, make sure you pick ones that are deep red all the way around with no hints of green or white.
Other Toppings: Dust your Tiramisu with cocoa powder or fresh chocolate shavings for a traditional take on the recipe.
Orange Liqueur: Substitute half of the orange juice in the recipe with orange liqueur for a boozy variety of this dessert.
