What is Tiramisu?

Tiramisu is a popular Italian dessert traditionally made with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese, eggs, and cocoa powder. It’s known for its creamy texture and rich flavors. In this strawberry version, we’re swapping the coffee for a strawberry jam mixture, which pairs beautifully with the mascarpone cheese. The result is a lighter, fruitier take on tiramisu that’s perfect for warmer months.

The no-bake nature of this dessert also makes it incredibly easy to prepare. You’ll need a few hours of chilling time for the layers to set and flavors to meld, but the hands-on prep time is minimal, making it a fantastic choice for busy days.

Keyword: ladyfingers, no bake, strawberry, strawberry tiramisu, tiramisu

Servings: 9

Ingredients

• 28 ladyfingers 2 – 24 oz packages
• 1 lb strawberries sliced
• ½ c strawberry jam
• ¼ c Grand Marnier optional
• ¼ c water ½ c if you’re not using Grand Marnier
• 8 oz mascarpone cheese softened
• 1 t vanilla
• ½ c powdered sugar
• 1 c heavy cream
• Additional powdered sugar to dust

Instructions

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Do not over whip or it will deflate.
• Fold in the mascarpone cheese. Set aside until ready to assemble.
• In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry jam, Grand Marnier (if using) and water. Whisk to combine until all clumps are gone.
• Using a 9×9 or similar sized baking dish, set out the unwrapped ladyfingers and the strawberry jam mixture. Quickly dip a single ladyfinger at a time in the strawberry jam mixture, flipping to coat both sides. Transfer to the baking dish. Do not allow the ladyfinger to soak – a quick dip is sufficient. Continue until the bottom of the pan is covered in one layer of the ladyfingers.
• Scoop out half of the mascarpone mixture and carefully spread over the ladyfingers. Line up half of the sliced strawberries to create an even layer.
• Repeat another layer of the dipped ladyfingers. If you’re using anything other than a 9×9 pan, you may need more or less ladyfingers. We needed 28 ladyfingers for a 9×9 pan.
• Top with the remaining mascarpone mixture and spread evenly. At this point, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• When ready to serve, top with the remaining sliced strawberries and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Tips for Making the Perfect Strawberry Tiramisu

• Use Fresh, Ripe Strawberries: Fresh strawberries make all the difference in this dessert, adding natural sweetness and a vibrant color.
• Don’t Over-soak the Ladyfingers: A quick dip in the strawberry jam mixture is enough. Too much soaking will cause the ladyfingers to become mushy.
• Chill for Best Flavor: The tiramisu will taste best if it chills for at least 8 hours. This lets the flavors meld and creates a firmer texture for easier serving.
• Optional Alcohol-Free Version: If you’d like to make a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the Grand Marnier and use an additional ¼ cup of water.
