Strawberry Tiramisu

Hello my friends!!

Here is a recipe that I make very often and that I finally share with you…

My strawberry tiramisu!

You have already two nice tiramisù recipes on the blog:

• the tiramisù classico (yes I could be Italian!! 😉 )
• The tiramisù with roasted mango

Here I share a version that particularly fits after a heavy meal. Why you may ask? Just because the strawberry brings a bit of acidity that will counter-balance the sweet taste of the mascarpone mixture. And we are in the middle of the strawberry season now, lets’ enjoy it!!

You can make this strawberry tiramisu with any kind of crackers that you want (or that you have in your kitchen!!) : speculoos, Graham crackers, lady fingers, shortbread biscuits… The hardest part is to choose!

For an even yummier version, you can add a strawberry sauce and pour some on your strawberry tiramisu.

The great advantage of this dessert is that it’s better to make it 12 hours in advance so that you get the right consistency. So when you have guests, you make it the day before and you still have plenty of time to make the rest of your menu.

I like to serve it in individual portions, I think it suits the strawberries well. It’s a fact that the strawberries cut in very small cubes will release juice and your tiramisu might be less firm. In jars, no problem with the texture consistency!

The utensils:

A small sauce pan,

A large bowl,

A food processor with whisk to make the chantilly cream,

A spatula,

A rolling pin to crush the crackers

And a grater for the lime zests.

There you go now!

The recipe, Chef!
