Strawberry Tiramisu

Strawberry Tiramisu

Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 400 g fresh strawberries

  • 1/3 cup strawberry jam

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice + 3 tbsp water

  • 2/3 cup thickened cream

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese

  • 1/3 cup icing sugar, plus extra to serve

  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

  • 18 saviourdi biscuits

Method

  • In a small bowl whisk together the jam, lemon juice and water. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a flat-sided bowl then set aside.

  • In a medium bowl combine the cream, marscapone cheese, sugar and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes, or until smooth and thickened.

  • Dip the biscuits into the jam mixture then line them into a large serving dish. Alternatively, you can make individual portions in glasses or small bowls. Spread ½ of the cream mixture onto the biscuits in an even layer. Slice 150 g of the strawberries and scatter them onto the cream. Repeat the layering with remaining biscuits, jam mixture and cream until all used.

  • Top the tiramisu with remaining strawberries. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight. Dust over a little extra icing sugar before serving.
