Description

This Strawberry Tiramisu is a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, featuring layers of soaked ladyfingers, luscious mascarpone cream, and fresh strawberry goodness. It combines the rich, creamy texture of mascarpone and whipped cream with the sweet-tart flavor of strawberries and strawberry pie filling, creating a refreshing and elegant treat perfect for any occasion. Chilled to perfection, this no-bake dessert is both easy to prepare and sure to impress.

Ingredients

Strawberry Mixture

  • 3 cups fresh strawberries, roughly chopped
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 21 ounces strawberry pie filling

Mascarpone Cream

  • 16 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 6 tablespoons vanilla instant pudding mix (a little less than one 3.4 ounce box)
  • Additional ¾ cup powdered sugar, sifted

Assembly

  • 12 ounces ladyfingers
  • Cooking spray for preparation

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: In a bowl, combine the chopped fresh strawberries with granulated sugar. Stir the mixture well and let it sit for 10 minutes to macerate. Afterward, mash the berries gently with a fork to release their juices.
  2. Add Strawberry Pie Filling: Stir the strawberry pie filling into the mashed strawberry mixture and set it aside for assembly.
  3. Whip the Cream: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream along with the vanilla extract on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the cream becomes frothy.
  4. Incorporate Sugar and Pudding Mix: Add the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla instant pudding mix to the whipped cream. Continue to whip for an additional 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form, indicating a firm and stable cream.
  5. Add Mascarpone Cheese: Fold in half of the mascarpone cheese gently to the whipped cream mixture to maintain airiness. Then add the remaining mascarpone cheese and mix on medium speed for about 4 minutes until fully combined and smooth.
  6. Prepare the Dish: Spray a 9×9 inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  7. Soak Ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the strawberry mixture just long enough to absorb some juice without becoming soggy. Place the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared dish.
  8. Layer Strawberry Mixture: Spread half of the reserved strawberry mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
  9. Layer Mascarpone Cream: Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the strawberry layer.
  10. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining strawberry mixture, and finish with the remaining mascarpone cream, spreading it smoothly.
  11. Chill: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
  12. Serve: Before serving, optionally top with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or enjoy plain as a rich and fruity dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure ladyfingers are dipped very briefly to avoid sogginess.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • The dessert improves in flavor after chilling overnight.
  • Vanilla instant pudding helps thicken the mascarpone cream layer for a stable texture.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with light whipping cream, though texture may vary.
