Strawberry Tiramisu is a no-bake, coffee-free dessert featuring layers of soft ladyfingers, fluffy mascarpone cream, and fresh strawberries. Light, creamy, and fruity, it’s a perfect summer treat that’s easy to make and kid-friendly.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 24 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam or puree (optional)
  • 1/2 cup orange juice or strawberry juice (for dipping ladyfingers)

Instructions

  1. Wash and slice the strawberries, setting aside some for the top layer.
  2. In a bowl, whip heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  3. In another bowl, stir mascarpone cheese until smooth, then fold in whipped cream to create a fluffy mixture.
  4. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into juice, just enough to soften without becoming soggy.
  5. Layer the bottom of a dish with dipped ladyfingers.
  6. Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers, then add sliced strawberries or a thin layer of jam/puree.
  7. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of mascarpone cream on top.
  8. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Top with reserved strawberries before serving.

Notes

  • Add lemon zest to mascarpone cream for extra brightness.
  • Try a mixed berry version with raspberries or blueberries.
  • Use strawberry jam between layers for added sweetness.
  • For dairy-free, use coconut cream and non-dairy whipped topping.
  • Dip ladyfingers quickly to avoid sogginess.
