Strawberry tiramisu recipe with mascarpone and cream
First, the strawberries are cleaned. Here's how to do it correctly so that the taste of the fruit is best preserved:
How to clean strawberries properly
- Leave the stem on the strawberries when washing them. This means the strawberries will absorb less water (make sure you never submerge the strawberries in water).
- Place the strawberries in a large sieve.
- Rinse the fruit under cold water.
- Gently move it with your hand to remove any dirt.
- Dry them with a paper towel.
Preparing the ingredients for the strawberry tiramisu
Ingredients for the strawberry juice:
- 2 cups chopped strawberries (330 g)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup cold water (120 grams)
Instructions for preparing strawberry juice:Wash the strawberries, cut them into small pieces and sprinkle with sugar. Then add the strawberries, lemon juice and water to a blender and puree until smooth.
Ingredients for the strawberry tiramisu cream:
- 1 pasteurized egg (optional)
- 225 g Mascarpone
- 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar (sifted)
- about 30 Italian biscotti
- 220 grams full-fat cream
- 170 grams of sliced strawberries
Instructions for preparing the cream: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg (if using), sugar, mascarpone and cream until it forms a nice, creamy mixture (about 5 minutes, so it's neither too thick nor too thin).
Making dessert with strawberries
Pour half of the strawberry juice into a small bowl and dip the cookies in it, tossing to thoroughly coat both sides but not submerging them in the juice. Then take a baking pan (26 x 17 cm) and spread the cookies on the base. Cover with half the cream and add the sliced strawberries. Repeat the process with the cookies and spread the remaining cream on top.
Place in the fridge for at least 4-5 hours or even overnight. Garnish with fresh strawberries before serving. Have fun!

Raffaello tiramisu – dessert with strawberries and without cookies (optional)
And since we can't decide what we love more, tiramisu or Raffaello candies, we'll end this post with a dessert that combines both. There are no biscuits or biscotti in this recipe, the crunch comes from the crushed candies. However, if you wish, you can add these to your taste, arranging them first at the bottom of the glass and then again between the cream and the fruit.
Ingredients:
- 500 g Mascarpone
- 500 g low-fat cottage cheese
- 330 ml coconut milk
- 1 box of Raffaello candies (23 pieces)
- 200 ml whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon coconut syrup or coconut liqueur
- 500g strawberries, fresh or frozen
- Caster sugar (optional)
Directions:Wash and clean the fresh strawberries. Mash the Raffaello candies in a bowl with a fork and mix with the low-fat cottage cheese and coconut milk. In a second bowl, mix the mascarpone with the mixer until creamy and stir it into the above mixture spoon by spoon with the whisk. Sweeten slightly with powdered sugar and a spoonful of coconut syrup or coconut liqueur.
Finally, fold the whipped cream into the mixture. Pour the cream into a glass bowl. Puree the thawed or fresh strawberries and spread them over the cream. Refrigerate for at least an hour before eating.
