Strawberry Tiramisu - The dessert is balanced to perfection, with vanilla-scented delicate, velvety mascarpone, strawberry-soaked ladyfinger cookies, and sweet juicy strawberries - all in a cup!
Combine the strawberries, sugar, and water in a blender. Blend until you get a smooth puree. Taste and adjust for sweetness.
Mascarpone Mixture
Combine the mascarpone cheese, cream, icing sugar, and vanilla bean paste in a bowl.
Beat them together, using an electric beater, until thick and creamy.
Assembly
Dip a ladyfinger cookie in the strawberry puree. Place it at the bottom of the serving glass. you may need to break it into 2-3 pieces to make it fit.
Add 1-2 tsp of the puree on top.
Add a heaped tablespoon of the cheese mixture. You may need to add more, depending on the glass you are using.
Add one more layer of cookie, puree, and then cheese mixture. Add a little bit of the puree on top of the last cheese layer.
Repeat for all the dessert glasses.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Top with fresh strawberries and chocolate shavings before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
To avoid soggy cookies, give the cookies a quick dip in the strawberry puree.
The sweetness of your strawberry puree depends on how sweet or tart your strawberries are. If they’re tart, add more sugar. If they’re sweet, use less.
We’re not looking for a thick purée here. That’s why we’re adding water to thin it down.
Make sure your mascarpone cheese is at room temperature. That helps in making a smoother mixture faster and more easily.
Allow the tiramisu to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
