Now, I’m a real sucker for traditional tiramisu, but if you go that way you’re stuck in the kitchen for hours! And it’s almost Valentine’s Day, so you gotta get your stuff in order.

That’s why we’re going to tackle this Strawberry Tiramisu recipe together. It’s quick, it’s delicious, it’s a serving just for two. Just take a stab at this wonderful recipe, you’ll thank me later for it. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 pint fresh strawberries
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
18 ladyfingers
1/3 cup chilled espresso
1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

What’s Next:

Cut off the tops of the strawberries and slice the berries. Reserve 2 large whole berries for garnish.

In a blender, place 2 cups of strawberries and 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar; blend to puree and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup cream, 1/4 cup sugar, and liqueur; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until thickened.

Place 6 ladyfingers on a serving plate and brush each with approximately 1 teaspoon cold espresso coffee. Spread or pipe out 1/2 of the cheese mixture over the ladyfingers, and layer with half of the sliced strawberries.

Repeat with the next 6 ladyfingers, espresso, remaining cheese mixture, and sliced strawberries; top with remaining 6 ladyfingers.
In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons sugar; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until justwhipped, approximately 1 minute. Spread cream evenly over top layer of ladyfingers.

Dust cocoa over whipped cream, and garnish with 2 reserved strawberries. Pour strawberry puree onto two serving plates. Cut tiramisu in half, and place onto puree.
