Strawberry Tiramisù without Eggs
17/11/2023I 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
-
Start by washing the strawberries and setting some aside for the final decoration. Cut the rest into small pieces.
-
In a bowl, mix the mascarpone with powdered sugar until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream.
-
In another bowl, whip the cream until it’s firm and gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture to keep it airy.
-
Add the chopped strawberries to the mascarpone and whipped cream mixture and mix gently.
-
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.
-
Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers on the bottom of a serving dish.
-
Add a layer of the mascarpone and strawberry cream on top.
-
Continue alternating layers of ladyfingers and cream, finishing with a cream layer.
-
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.
-
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.
