Strawberry Tiramisu with White Chocolate
Description
Strawberry Tiramisu with White Chocolate is a fresh take on the classic Italian dessert. Ladyfingers are briefly dipped in a cooled strawberry syrup blended with a liqueur like Cointreau, avoiding oversaturation. The mascarpone cheese is beaten with egg yolks and sugar, then folded with stiff egg whites to maintain a fluffy cream. Strawberry slices add a fresh fruit element, layered with the cream and soaked biscuits. White chocolate is grated over the assembled dessert, adding a sweet, creamy contrast to the tart berries. The texture balances smooth mascarpone cream, tender biscuits, and juicy strawberries.
This dessert is assembled in a baking dish and chilled before serving, letting flavors meld and the texture set. It suits spring and summer occasions when fresh strawberries are available, offering a refreshing dessert with both creamy and fruity elements.
Ensure the mascarpone is at room temperature before whisking to avoid lumps. Soak the ladyfingers for just a few seconds per side to prevent sogginess. The quantity of liqueur can be adjusted to taste, and alternative berries can substitute strawberries.
Ingredients
- 4 cups (400g) strawberry finely sliced, fresh
- 2 1/4 cups (500g) mascarpone cheese at room temperature
- 3 large egg white
- 4 large egg yolk
- 6 tbsp light brown sugar
- 10.5 oz (200g) ladyfingers or Savoiardi biscuits
- 4 tbsp Cointreau liqueur
- 3 heaped tbsp strawberry jam
- 1 cup (250ml) water
- 2-3 quare white chocolate for grating
Instructions
- Add 3 large egg whites to a bowl and start whisking. Once frothy gradually add 3 tablespoons of sugar and whisk to stiff peaks.
- In a separate bowl whisk together 4 egg yolks and the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar until light, creamy and doubled in size.
- Top Tip: DO NOT let any egg yolk touch the egg whites as the fat will stop the whites from whipping and can cause them to collapse. It's ok if there is a little egg white in with the yolks though.
- Add the mascarpone in with the beaten egg yolks and whisk until incorporated with no lumps. Add 2 tablespoons Cointreau or liqueur of choice and stir to combine.
- Fold in the egg whites using a spatula or wooden spoon being careful not to knock too much air out. Fold gently until completely incorporated.
- Add strawberry jam and water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour into a shallow bowl and let cool Once cooled add 2 tablespoons Cointreau and stir.
- Dunk the biscuits/cookies into the cooled liquid and line the bottom of a baking dish, you might need to break a few biscuits or change direction to fit your dish.
- Once you have one layer top with the mascarpone mixture, use just under half because you want the top layer to have slightly more. Spread it all over evenly then top with sliced strawberries and grated white chocolate.
- Continue with another layer of biscuits followed by the rest of the mascarpone, sliced strawberries and grated white chocolate.
- Cover with cling film (plastic wrap) and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or 8 if possible. The longer you leave it the better because the biscuits get a chance to soak up all the extra flavour.
Notes
- Use a 7x11 inch baking dish or adjust biscuit arrangement to fit your dish.
- Soak ladyfingers briefly (about 3 seconds per side) to keep them tender but not soggy.
- Keep mascarpone at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps.
- Adjust the amount of liqueur to your preference or omit it if desired.
- Other fruits like raspberries or blood oranges can be used in place of strawberries.
