Strawberry Tiramisu for Two image

Tiramisu is Italian for 'pick me up'. This light, roll your eyes, taste bud tantalizer has become a traditional wedding anniversary dessert treat that I've been making for my husband and me for 17 years. You might call it a happy hubby dessert! This is my easy version of a classic with the elimination of raw eggs and a wonderful fresh strawberry layer and puree base. It's delicioso! It is made to accommodate two extra large portions.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pint fresh strawberries
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup mascarpone cheese
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
18 ladyfingers
⅓ cup chilled espresso
½ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Cut off the tops of the strawberries and slice the berries. Reserve 2 large whole berries for garnish.
  • In a blender, place 2 cups of strawberries and 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar; blend to puree and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup cream, 1/4 cup sugar, and liqueur; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until thickened.
  • Place 6 ladyfingers on a serving plate and brush each with approximately 1 teaspoon cold espresso coffee. Spread or pipe out 1/2 of the cheese mixture over the ladyfingers, and layer with half of the sliced strawberries.
  • Repeat with the next 6 ladyfingers, espresso, remaining cheese mixture, and sliced strawberries; top with remaining 6 ladyfingers.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons sugar; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until just whipped, approximately 1 minute. Spread cream evenly over top layer of ladyfingers.
  • Dust cocoa over whipped cream, and garnish with 2 reserved strawberries. Pour strawberry puree onto two serving plates. Cut tiramisu in half, and place onto puree.

Overall, I thought this strawberry tiramisu was a good recipe, but it wasn't my favorite. I think I prefer the classic chocolate tiramisu more.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to making simpler desserts in the future.

I accidentally used too much espresso and the tiramisu was a bit too strong for my taste. I'll definitely be more careful next time.

I had a hard time finding ladyfingers at my local grocery store, so I used graham crackers instead. They worked just fine, but the tiramisu didn't have the same classic look.

This strawberry tiramisu was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used store-bought ladyfingers. Next time I'll try making my own.

This recipe was easy to follow and the tiramisu turned out perfectly. I used fresh strawberries from my garden and they were so delicious in the dessert.

This strawberry tiramisu was a delightful treat! The combination of sweet strawberries, creamy mascarpone, and espresso-soaked ladyfingers was simply divine. I especially loved the hint of lemon zest in the mascarpone mixture, which added a refreshin
