Ingredients
  

  • 2 7.05 ounces packages of ladyfingers each packet is about 200g

For The Strawberry Compote

  • 4 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1¼ cups granulated sugar
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons cold water

For The Cream

  • 16 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1¼ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

To Make the Strawberry Compote

  • Add the frozen strawberries to a pot. Do not thaw.
  • Add them to a pot on medium-high heat along with the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 2 cups of water.
  • Mix well and let it cool down for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally so they don’t burn. You want them to be extremely soft.
  • Mix until thickened before removing from the heat to cool completely. I prefer doing the additional step of blending them using an immersion blender, but you can keep them as is. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of compote to dip the lady fingers, or use milk instead.

To Make the Cream

  • Beat the mascarpone, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together. Whisk for about 10 minutes until stiff peaks appear.

To Assemble the Strawberry Tiramisu

  • Lightly dip each ladyfinger into the reserved strawberry compote and layer 1 time at the bottom of your pan. Add the cream layer and spread it evenly.
  • Add half of the cooled strawberry compote.
  • Dip the biscuits again and layer once more.
  • Add the final layer of mascarpone cream and finally finish it off with a layer of compote.
  • Top with powdered sugar or crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
  • Cool your tiramisu and set it for 6 hours in the fridge. Serve your amazing Strawberry Tiramisu. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you don’t have ladyfinger cookies, you can use vanilla cookies instead.
  • Make sure that the ingredients of the cream layer, like mascarpone cheese and whipping cream, are at room temperature in order to mix together more easily.
  • Whisk the cream until stiff peaks appear. This helps to thicken the filling and sets the texture of no-bake tiramisu.
  • For the best results, chill the tiramisu for at least 6-8 hours before serving to allow for the ladyfingers to soften up and for the filling to set.
  • Make sure the compote is room temperature before using! 
  • You can dip the lady fingers into the compote, or use milk!
