Strawberry Tiramisu
Strawberry Tiramisu, a fast and easy no bake Dessert. Made with fresh strawberries, cream and mascarpone. No coffee or liqueur makes this the perfect dessert for everyone. An Italian Classic!
Tiramisu is a dessert favourite in our house, from an easy No Bake Tiramisu Cheesecake to a Kid Friendly Chocolate Milk Tiramisu.
Nothing 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.
Top with sliced strawberries. Repeat cookies for another layer and cover with remaining cream mixture. Refrigerate for approximately 4 hours or overnight. Top with fresh strawberries.
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!

Fortunately, Canada is now producing spring strawberries which are available earlier and ; they are very good. They are much better than southern counties’ berries.
Try this: cut the strawberries, a pinch of fresh ground of black pepper and hand ripped fresh basil. Let it sit for about 1/2 hours to develop the taste and juices. The aroma is just crazy with a taste to match. Enjoy with a glass of prosecco (with or without alcohol).
Hi Tony, oh that sounds interesting! And buy Canadian!!! Take care.
This was so easy to make an absolutely delicious. It was a crowd pleaser. I made this for my friends, son university graduation. It truly was a hit. I give it 10 stars
Hi Rose, thanks so much, so glad it was enjoyed. Congratulations to your son! Take care.
I recently made the Strawberry Tiramisu and everyone loved it! It’s a great change for the summer season. I plan on making it for our Memorial day cookout.
I did made it without the egg and it was still fantastic. And my husband used the extra strawberry sauce on his ice cream. Such great recipe!!
Hi Celeste, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it. Great idea with the sauce on the ice cream! Take care.
Any way to use frozen strawberries? Berries in Florida are not sweet or juicy 95% of time.
Hi Arlene, to make the juice you could use frozen strawberries, although to for the rest of the dessert, I do recommend fresh but if you want to try with frozen, be sure to let them thaw then dry with a paper towel to remove as much excess moisture as possible, if not they will just make the dessert really soupy and you don’t want that. I hope that helps. Take care!
can I use cream cheese instead of marscapone cheese?
Hi Bridget, not really because Tiramisu is made with mascarpone. Cream cheese has more of a sour taste to it. 🙂
