Good to know

Chef's tip

For an even more flavorful strawberry tiramisu, add a little lemon zest to the mascarpone cream 🍋. You can also replace the ladyfingers with speculoos cookies for a spicy, crunchy touch 🍓🍰.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Significant change in texture (mascarpone becomes grainy, ladyfingers get soggy).

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keep 2-3 days max in an airtight container in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Ideally made the day before for better set and flavor infusion. Minimum 6h in the fridge.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not reheated. Eaten cold, straight from the refrigerator.

Variations

Replace the coffee with a strawberry coulis for a caffeine-free tiramisu.
Use raspberries or peaches instead of strawberries.
Add a splash of almond or orange liqueur to the coffee.

Mistakes to avoid

Not whipping the egg whites enough: the cream is runny. Beat them with a pinch of salt until stiff.
Soaking the ladyfingers too long: they get soggy. Dip them quickly.
Cutting the tiramisu before it has rested: the layers slide. Leave it at least 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Frequently asked questions

Does tiramisu contain raw eggs?

Yes, in this recipe the yolks are whisked with the sugar and the whites are whipped to stiff peaks without cooking. Use very fresh eggs and keep the dessert in the refrigerator until serving.

Which cookies should you use for tiramisu?

Ladyfingers, also called savoiardi. They absorb the coffee well without falling apart if you dip them quickly. Arrange them in a single tight layer at the bottom of the dish.

Can you make this tiramisu without coffee?

Yes, you can replace the coffee with a strawberry coulis, which gives a fruitier dessert with no caffeine. Quickly dip the ladyfingers in the coulis so they don't get soggy.

How long should tiramisu rest?

At least 4 hours in the refrigerator, or overnight, so the flavors blend and the cream sets. Cover it with plastic wrap, then dust with cocoa and decorate with strawberries before serving.
