Servings 8 people

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Espresso (240ml)
  • 2 teaspoons Strawberry extract
  • 24 Ladyfingers
  • 5 Large Egg yolks
  • 3/4 Cup Sugar (150g)
  • 2 Cup Mascarpone cheese (450g)
  • 1 1/2 Cups Heavy cream (360ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 Cup Strawberry preserves
  • 2 Cup Fresh strawberries, sliced (200g)

Instructions

Make The Filling

  • Add the extract to the coffee and place it in the refrigerator to chill.
  • Mix the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl over a double boiler until pale yellow and the sugar has mostly dissolved.
  • Whip the mascarpone to soften it, about 15 seconds in a separate bowl.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract and whip until the heavy cream has been incorporated and you have a smooth soft cream.

Assemble

  • Dip the bottom of the cookies in the coffee and arrange them at the bottom of the pan in a single layer.
  • Spread half of the preserves on top of the cookies.
  • Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the jam.
  • Repeat with the rest of the cookies, jam, and cream.
  • Refrigerate for a minimum of six hours or overnight.
  • When ready to serve, top the tiramisu with the fresh strawberries.

Notes

  • To skip the double boiler, use pasteurized eggs. 
  • Store the dessert in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe yields one 8-inch square baking dish, a springform pan, or an oval pan (do not use a shallow dish).
