Fresh Strawberry Tiramisu





I made a wonderful dessert using fresh strawberries. I combined my Czech Wafer Cake and tiramisu to create this recipe.
This is easy to make, involves no baking and is best served after being chilled overnight. It is great as a make ahead dessert.
Of course, how to make it is simple. I used strawberry compote instead of espresso and fresh strawberry instead of cocoa powder.

Ingredients
2 C                                       heavy cream
2 Tbsp                                 confectioners sugar
8.8 oz                                   mascarpone cheese (room temp)
2 packs                                soft lady fingers (Giant)
1 pint                                    strawberries

strawberry syrup
5                                          strawberries

2 t                                        sugar

Directions
Rinse and dry strawberries, slice half of them and chop the rest.
Make a strawberry sauce - crush 5 strawberries and add sugar. Put in a sauce pan and boil slightly. Let cool. Put the strawberry mixture through a sieve to remove lumps and set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat heavy cream with confectioners sugar until stiff peaks form then whisk in the mascarpone.
Stand sliced strawberries against the wall of dish.
Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise and drizzle with strawberry sauce.
Arrange one third of soaked ladyfingers in bottom of dish and spread one third of the heavy cream and mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers and top with one third of the sliced strawberries. Repeat layers.
Place in the fridge for overnight (I recommend for 2 days).
Sprinkle with confectioners sugar before serving.
