Description
A delightful twist on the classic tiramisu, this Strawberry Tiramisu Roll combines fresh strawberries with creamy mascarpone and coffee-soaked ladyfingers for a refreshing dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
- 1 package ladyfinger cookies (about 24 cookies)
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Toss to coat and let sit for about 15 minutes to release their juices.
- In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- In a shallow dish, mix the cooled coffee with the coffee liqueur, if using. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, making sure not to soak them.
- Lay half of the dipped ladyfingers in a single layer on a serving platter or a large piece of plastic wrap, slightly overlapping them.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then layer half of the strawberries on top.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and strawberries.
- Cover the roll tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and slice into portions.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add cocoa powder to the mascarpone mixture or use chocolate-flavored ladyfingers.
- You can substitute the strawberries with other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
