Strawberry Tiramisu
Strawberry TiramisuNothing screams summer like spending a nice weekend at a cottage or eating berries, especially strawberries in my case .
Luckily for me I usually get to enjoy Strawberries twice a year. The first time in Italy, strawberries arrive in late April and early May and in Canada in early July.

How to Make Strawberry Tiramisu:
-
Dip the Italian Lady Finger cookies in the strawberry juice (turning to coat all the cookie with juice, but don’t leave them submerged in the juice), arrange the cookies on bottom of baking dish.
-
Cover with half the cream mixture.
How to Clean Strawberries:
- Leave the stem on the strawberries when washing, it helps the strawberries absorb less water (make sure to never soak the strawberries in water).
- Place the strawberries in a large colander.
- Rinse the strawberries under cold water.
- Moving them gently with your hand to remove any dirt.
- Pat them dry with a paper towel.
This Strawberry Tiramisu calls for a homemade strawberry juice made with fresh strawberries, lemon juice, sugar and water. Any leftover juice will be perfect over ice cream or why not add some ice and a little sparkling water and enjoy a delicious refreshing cold drink.
So if you love Strawberries and you are looking for a refreshing no bake Dessert I hope you give this Easy Strawberry Tiramisu Recipe a try. Enjoy!
Strawberry Tiramisu
Ingredients
STRAWBERRY JUICE
- 2 cups chopped strawberries (332 grams)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup cold water (118 grams)
CREAM MIXTURE
- 1 pasteurized egg*
- 1 cup mascarpone (225 grams)
- 1 cup whole cream (220 grams)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar (sifted)
- 30 Italian Lady finger cookies (approximately)
- 1 cup sliced strawberries (166 grams)
*The egg can be left out if you wish.
Instructions
- To make the strawberry juice: Clean and chop the strawberries into small pieces sprinkle with sugar, place strawberries, lemon juice and water in a blender, blend until smooth, pour into a bowl and set aside.
- To make the cream mixture: In a medium bowl beat the egg (if using) for approximately 30 seconds then add the sugar, mascarpone and cream, beat on medium until thickened. (approximately 5-10 minutes, you don't want it to be too thick or too thin, nice and creamy ).
- Putting it all together: Lady Finger Cookies (approximately 30 or more if needed) 1 baking dish (I used 10 x 7 inch / 26 x 17 cm).
- In a small bowl add half the strawberry juice to start,(you may have left over strawberry juice, which is great over ice cream or even add a little more sugar and it makes a great drink) dip the lady finger cookies in the juice (turning to coat all the cookie with juice, but don't leave them submerged in the juice) then arrange cookies on bottom of baking dish and cover with half the cream mixture, cover with the sliced strawberries, repeat cookies for another layer and cover with remaining cream mixture.
- Refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours or even over night. Top with fresh strawberries before serving. Enjoy!

Ines Cardillo says
If a person cannot find pasteurized eggs or feel uncomfortable in using the raw egg, the egg and sugar can be cooked like a zabaglione in a double boiler, cooled and mixed with the mascarpone and whipped cream.
Rosemary says
Hi Ines, that actually sounds quite interesting and I think it would work. Let me know if you try it. You can also just leave out the egg if you prefer. Take care.
Diane says
I see several comments asking about eggs but I don’t see any eggs in this recipe. The recipe I use for classic tiramisu does have eggs though. Are there eggs in this recipe?
Thanks. Can’t wait to try this recipe.
Rosemary says
Hi Diane, I redid this without eggs, because everyone was wondering about raw eggs. I will update the recipe if you wish to use an egg. Thanks.
Jamie says
hi, I just made this recipe but realized I used Italian ladyfingers instead of regular ones. Is that okay?
Rosemary says
Hi Jamie, that should be fine, I think the Italian ladyfingers are the correct ones. Although I have never seen different types. So much variety. 🙂 Have a great Sunday.
Frida says
This looks so refreshing….Any chance to omit the egg altogether? No egg substitute where I am….
Rosemary says
Hi Frida, sure you can just omit the egg, I do it sometimes and tastes just as good. Hope you enjoy it.
Jennifer says
OMG tiramisu is my favorite dessert ever. And with strawberry season is full effect right now, I am definitely going to be giving your variation a try – and probably eating the entire batch.
Rosemary says
Hi Jennifer, thanks, the Strawberry version is a big hit in my family.
April @ Girl Gone Gourmet says
This just looks like summer to me – so lucky you are to get to enjoy strawberry season twice! Can’t wait to try this 🙂
Rosemary says
Hi April, thanks, I know I am starting to see strawberries everywhere!
Dan from Platter Talk says
I have never made any tiramisu but I love the stuff. I also love strawberries, summer cottage days, and warm weather; I can’t wait to make this in just a few months! Thank you for the delicious inspiration.
Rosemary says
Hi Dan, thanks so much, Tiramisu is a must try. Hope you enjoy it.
marie says
concerned about the egg
Rose says
Hi Marie, If you are concerned about using raw eggs I advised using a product called egg replacer, there are now pasteurized eggs available on the market. I hope that helps.
