Strawberry Tiramisu

This delightful Strawberry Tiramisu is a fruity twist on the classic Italian dessert. With layers of ladyfingers soaked in a sweet strawberry mixture and a luscious mascarpone cream, its a perfect treat for any occasion.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups fresh strawberries, roughly chopped
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 21 ounces strawberry pie filling
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 6 tablespoons instant pudding mix cheesecake, white chocolate, vanilla, or lemon
  • 16 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 12 ounces ladyfingers

Optional Garnishes:

  • Sliced strawberries
  • Whipped cream
  • Powdered sugar

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Layer: Combine the strawberries and sugar in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Set aside for at least 10 minutes. Then, use a fork to gently smash the strawberries. Add the strawberry pie filling and stir to combine. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Mascarpone Layer: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract together until frothy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually add the powdered sugar and pudding mix, and continue beating until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add half of the mascarpone cheese and beat into the cream mixture until smooth and creamy. Add the remaining mascarpone cheese and mix until fully combined and the mixture is completely smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Assemble the Tiramisu:

  1. Lightly spray a 9-inch square baking dish with nonstick baking spray.
  2. Dip the ladyfingers in the strawberry mixture using tongs works well, turn to fully coat, and then place in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Spoon half of the strawberry mixture on top of the ladyfingers.
  4. Transfer half of the mascarpone mixture to the baking dish and gently spread on top of the strawberry layer using an offset spatula.
  5. Repeat the last three steps to create another layer of ladyfingers, strawberry filling, and finally the remaining mascarpone mixture, making sure to spread it into an even layer.
  6. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  7. Serve: When ready to serve, remove from the refrigerator, top with sliced strawberries and/or whipped cream. Cut into squares and serve!
