Ingredients

  • 2 lbs fresh strawberries hulled (900 g)
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar 50 g
  • 1 tablespoon fresh or bottled lemon juice 15 ml
  • 1 tablespoon rose water optional (15 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons water if needed (30 ml)
  • 1 17 oz package Ladyfinger cookies
  • 2 cups whipping cream 480 ml
  • 2 cups Mascarpone cheese
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar 30 g

Instructions

Prepare the Strawberries:

  • Reserve about 12 strawberries for garnish.
  • Puree the remaining strawberries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and rose water (if using).
  • If the puree is too thick to be easily absorbed by the cookies, add up to 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of cold water to achieve a smoothie-like texture.

Prepare the Mascarpone Cream:

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the mascarpone cheese. Soften it by mixing in a little whipping cream.
  • Add the remaining whipping cream and powdered sugar.
  • Whip the mixture until stiff peaks form. Divide the mascarpone cream into two equal portions.

Assemble the Tiramisu:

  • Dip the ladyfinger cookies into the strawberry puree and place a single layer in a 9” x 8” ceramic dish.
  • Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the layer of cookies.
  • Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfinger cookies.
  • Spread the remaining mascarpone cream over the second layer of cookies.
  • Garnish with the reserved strawberries, sliced or halved as desired.
  • Chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • Use any leftover strawberry puree as a topping when serving.

Notes

  • Make the strawberry puree and mascarpone cream ahead of time. Then just assemble the tiramisu when ready.
  • Cold heavy cream is best for making the cream filling.
  • Store tiramisu in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
