Ingredients

8
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled

Instructions

1

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

3

Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined.

4

In a shallow dish, mix the brewed coffee with coffee liqueur (if using).

7

Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, followed by half of the sliced strawberries.

8

Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients, finishing with the mascarpone mixture on top.

9

Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with additional strawberries.

Kitchen Tools

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Shallow dish for soaking ladyfingers
  • Serving dish or trifle bowl

Pro Tips

Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
If you want a stronger coffee flavor, let the ladyfingers soak slightly longer.
For a lighter texture, make sure the whipped cream is thoroughly whipped to stiff peaks.

Troubleshooting

If the mascarpone mixture appears too runny, chill it briefly before folding in the whipped cream.
If the tiramisu doesn't set properly, it may need more time in the refrigerator.

Recipe Variations

Replace strawberries with blueberries or raspberries for a berry medley.
Add a layer of lemon zest or lemon curd between layers for a citrus twist.

Healthy Alternatives

Substitute mascarpone cheese with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
Use a sugar substitute if you want to reduce sugar content.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Pair with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful dessert experience.
