17/11/2023

I can provide you a recipe for a Strawberry Tiramisù without eggs. This fresh and light dessert is a variation of the traditional tiramisù and can be a great choice for those who are allergic to eggs or simply prefer a lighter version of the classic dessert. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

  • 500 g of fresh strawberries
  • 250 g of mascarpone cheese
  • 200 ml of whipping cream
  • 100 g of powdered sugar (or to taste)
  • 200 g of ladyfingers or pavesini
  • Orange juice or a choice of alcoholic syrup (for example, Maraschino)
  • A few fresh mint leaves for garnishing (optional)

Preparation

  1. Start by washing the strawberries and setting some aside for the final decoration. Cut the rest into small pieces.

  2. In a bowl, mix the mascarpone with powdered sugar until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream.

  3. In another bowl, whip the cream until it’s firm and gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture to keep it airy.

  4. Add the chopped strawberries to the mascarpone and whipped cream mixture and mix gently.

  5. Prepare the orange juice or alcoholic syrup in a shallow bowl. Briefly dip the ladyfingers into the juice without soaking them too much to prevent them from crumbling.

  6. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers on the bottom of a serving dish.

  7. Add a layer of the mascarpone and strawberry cream on top.

  8. Continue alternating layers of ladyfingers and cream, finishing with a cream layer.

  9. It is recommended to chill the tiramisù in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours before serving, so that the flavors can blend well together.

  10. Before serving, decorate with the strawberries set aside and, if you like, some fresh mint leaves.

Trivia

The Strawberry Tiramisù is a modern variant of the classic tiramisù and represents a delicious spring or summer alternative. Since handling raw eggs can be a health risk in some situations, this egg-free version is not only safer but also suitable for those following a vegetarian diet that excludes eggs. Moreover, it’s a perfect choice when strawberries are in season and at their peak of flavor.
