For those seeking a no-fuss summer dessert, the Strawberry Tiramisu offers a delectable option. This sweet treat is crafted using fresh strawberries, ladyfingers, and mascarpone, and is perfect for those who prefer to steer clear of coffee, alcohol, and raw eggs.
My top pick for a summer dessert is definitely Strawberry Tiramisu. Its sweetness and beauty are just as delightful as its taste. The dessert is made up of layers of mascarpone, infused ladyfingers with strawberry jam, and abundant fresh juicy strawberries. Whenever I bring this dessert to a party, everyone always falls in love with it. It’s that easy and that delicious!
Looking for a sweet treat for your summer soirée? This no-bake dessert is a winner! Customize the presentation by serving it in a baking dish or individual glasses for a chic wedding touch. And the best part? You can make it ahead of time! For optimal flavor, I recommend assembling the dessert a day in advance, allowing the ladyfingers to soak up the strawberry mixture and become delightfully soft. After a day in the fridge, it’ll taste absolutely divine!
Some tips for making this Strawberry Tiramisu
For best results, opt for hard ladyfingers instead of soft ones when making tiramisu. Soft ladyfingers tend to become mushy after spending a day in the fridge. To achieve the perfect texture, look for Italian ladyfingers, also known as Savoiardi. These ladyfingers are typically crisp but will soften as the tiramisu sits. Additionally, they often have a sugary top that adds to the dessert’s flavor. It’s crucial not to over-soak the ladyfingers and only dip them into the strawberry jam mixture.
To enhance the flavor of your tiramisu, it’s recommended to opt for ripe and juicy strawberries. Additionally, choosing a high-quality strawberry jam that has a strong and authentic strawberry taste, made with real and good quality strawberries, will further elevate the taste of your dessert.
Mascarpone cheese, the smooth and creamy Italian cream cheese, boasts a unique flavor that cannot be replicated by substituting it with regular cream cheese. To preserve the classic taste of tiramisu, it is best to opt for Mascarpone cheese. You can easily find it in the deli section of major supermarkets, as well as at Italian Food stores and Whole Foods.
Make sure to include the Balsamic Vinegar in your recipe as it will bring out the best in the strawberry flavor. Don’t worry, you won’t taste the vinegar itself. If Balsamic Vinegar isn’t available, a small amount of lemon juice can be used instead. For a tasty twist, consider using Prosecco instead of water in the strawberry jam mixture to add some extra flavor.

How to Make Strawberry Tiramisu
In a bowl of medium size, mix together mascarpone cheese, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Utilize an electric mixer or stand mixer set to medium-high speed and beat for around 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and has thickened.
In a petite bowl, meld together strawberry preserves, water, and balsamic vinegar. Mix with a fork until unified. Immerse the ladyfingers into the blend to cover them. Arrange the ladyfingers in a solitary layer at the base of an 8”x 8” or comparably sized baking container.
Evenly distribute half of the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfingers before arranging half of the sliced strawberries on top of the mixture.
Continue layering by alternating ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and sliced strawberries until all ingredients are used up.
Cover the strawberry tiramisu with cling wrap and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight.
