Strawberry Tiramisu is a fresh and fruity twist on the classic Italian dessert. Made with honey-ginger syrup, whipped mascarpone cream, strawberry jam, and fresh berries, it’s the perfect no-bake treat for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, sliced
  • 4 bags chamomile tea (optional)
  • 4 large egg yolks, cold
  • 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, cold
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Aperol (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 24 ladyfingers (about 7 oz package)
  • 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons strawberry jam
  • 1 cup fresh sliced strawberries
  • Freeze-dried raspberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small pot, bring 1/2 cup water, honey, and sliced ginger to a gentle boil. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  2. Add chamomile tea bags and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain and cool the syrup.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine egg yolks, mascarpone, 1/4 cup heavy cream, honey, Aperol, vanilla extract, and ground ginger. Beat for up to 2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Whip remaining 1/4 cup heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.
  5. Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the syrup and arrange in a single layer in a 9×9 inch baking dish.
  6. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
  7. Dollop 1/2 cup of strawberry jam over the cream and top with sliced strawberries.
  8. Repeat with another layer of syrup-dipped ladyfingers, remaining cream, and smooth out the top.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  10. Before serving, top with remaining strawberry jam, sliced strawberries, and optional crushed freeze-dried raspberries.

Notes

  • Ensure all dairy ingredients are cold to prevent a runny cream.
  • Don’t soak ladyfingers too long—just a quick dip.
  • Chill overnight for best texture and flavor blending.
  • To make egg-free, use additional whipped cream instead of yolks.
  • Swap chamomile with earl grey if preferred.
