Strawberry Tiramisu

My friend from Korea visited my house a few weeks ago. I was so excited! 

She went to New York for 3 days. So I made a strawberry tiramisu while she was not at my house. I hoped she would like it.

I have made strawberry tiramisu once before. At that time, I cut the strawberries in half, but this time I sliced them thinly to make it easy to eat. Of course, it was much easier to cut the tiramisu.

After 3 days, I shared it with my friend and her daughter. On that day, we ate bbq at home and I served the strawberry tiramisu as a dessert. My friend liked that it was a homemade dessert, and it was not too sweet. She had already experienced too many sweet desserts while traveling to New York.  I think regardless of whether my dessert was too sweet or not, she would have liked it.  The sweetness level was good for her. Ha ha ha!

Make a strawberry tiramisu that symbolizes spring and share it  with your family and friends. Enjoy!

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.
