This is a great summer pud, super easy & quick.
Also, here are a few flavours you could try pairing with strawbs that really make them ‘pop’, tried & tested during my jam making (Jamsmith) days:
Basil, Mint, Ginger, Black Pepper, Balsamic Vinegar, Champagne, Cognac, Rum, Chocolate, Elderflower, Honey, Maple Syrup, Citrus, Vanilla, Almond & Rose.
Strawberry Tiramisu:
6-8 portions
500g strawberries, hulled & halved
3 eggs, separated
50ml elderflower cordial (or any of the liquid flavours listed above)
1 lemon & 1 orange, juice
A few drops of vanilla essence
500g mascarpone
A packet of ladyfingers (savoiardi) biscuits
150g caster sugar
Α trifle bowl, gratin dish or individual glasses
🍓whisk egg yolks & vanilla with 100g of the sugar, until pale & creamy
🍓macerate the strawberries in the rest of the sugar, the orange/lemon juice & the elderflower, give them a gentle squish & leave for at least 15 mins so all the juices start to come out
🍓whisk the mascarpone into the egg yolks & then separately whisk the egg whites to soft peaks
🍓fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture
🍓put the strawberries into a colander over a bowl to collect the juice, dunk the biscuits into the liquid, then begin layering into your chosen container…biscuits, strawberries & cream & repeat.
🍓Grated chocolate, almonds, or lemon zest are good toppings over the last layer of cream
🍓Refrigerate before serving & don’t leave it out for too long in really hot weather (raw eggs!).
Let me know if you make it!
