Strawberry Tiramisu

My Strawberry Tiramisu is next level. If you love strawberry shortcake, my Strawberry Tiramisu takes it to another level. I layer in a strawberry cream cheese filling, fresh strawberries, whipped cream and juice dipped ladyfingers. It’s super easy to pull together for spring and summer entertaining and no bake!

Strawberry Tiramisu Ingredients

• Strawberries: Use fresh ripe berries for the best flavor.
• Sugar: Granulated. Brown sugar also works as a swap.
• Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed or bottled is fine.
• Cream cheese: Full fat is best and cheaper than mascarpone.
• Strawberry preserves: Make your own or grab at the store.
• Whipped cream: Use homemade whipped cream for the best flavor but whipped topping is fine too!
• Vanilla: Use real and not fake.
• Ladyfingers: Cubes of pound cake or even angel food cake work as a substitution.
• Orange juice: Apple juice or even coffee for authentic vibes also works.

How to Make Strawberry Tiramisu

1. Place the strawberries in a bowl and add the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Toss to coat the berries and set aside to allow syrup to form in the strawberries.
2. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and melted strawberry preserves with an electric mixer until smooth. In a separate bowl whisk together the whipped cream and vanilla.

PRO TIP: For a more intense pink color add some red food coloring!

3. Drizzle the orange juice over the ladyfingers.
4. Spread half the pink filling in the bottom of a square baking dish.

5. Add a layer of half of the macerated strawberries.
6. Add half of the whipped cream and vanilla mixture on top of the strawberries.

7. Repeat the layers again using the rest of the ingredients.
8. Refrigerate the strawberry dessert overnight or for at least 6 hours.

PRO TIP: If you need to speed things up, you can also freeze the strawberry dessert for one hour to firm up the berries.

Notes

Start with softened cream cheese. This ensures it will blend out perfectly creamy.

This dish is best with fresh, juicy red strawberries. Strawberries are usually at the height of their season in the summer.

Be sure you plan ahead a bit. The tiramisu needs to sit in the fridge for at least six hours but overnight is even better.
