A summery tiramisu that combines classic Italian flavors with the freshness of strawberries. The layered composition of mascarpone cream, fruity strawberries, and delicate ladyfingers creates a refreshing glass dessert.

At my last summer party, these dessert glasses were the absolute highlight. The combination of creamy mascarpone and fresh strawberries delighted all guests.

Essential Ingredients

  • Mascarpone: should be at room temperature
  • Low-fat quark: makes the cream lighter
  • Fresh strawberries: for best flavor
  • Ladyfingers: select carefully
  • Lime juice: for freshness

Path to Perfect Tiramisu

Preparing cream:
Beat mascarpone and quark until creamy. Season with sugar and vanilla. Carefully fold in the sliced strawberries.
Creating strawberry sauce:
Puree strawberries with sugar. The sauce should be fruity and not too sweet.

Perfect Layering

Perfect layering:
Place the ladyfingers in the glasses. Soak with orange juice. Layer cream and strawberry sauce alternately.

The preparation reminds me of my time in Italy, where each restaurant had its own tiramisu secret.

Flavor Variations

Refine with Amaretto. Use raspberries or blackberries. Incorporate white chocolate.

Serving Suggestions

Garnish with mint leaves. Fresh strawberries on top. Chocolate shavings as finish.

Storage

Keeps in refrigerator up to 24 hours. Add decoration shortly before serving.

This summery dessert combines Italian dessert art with fresh strawberries for a refreshing treat that impresses both visually and in taste.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ How long does the dessert keep in the refrigerator?
Best served within 24 hours. The ladyfingers become soft over time and the strawberries lose their freshness.
→ Can I prepare it without alcohol?
Yes, the orange juice alone is completely sufficient. The alcoholic version with Amaretto or strawberry liqueur is optional.
→ Can the glasses be prepared in advance?
Yes, prepare up to 12 hours ahead. Add the final decoration with fresh strawberries and herbs just before serving.
→ Is frozen fruit suitable?
Frozen strawberries can be used for the puree. For the layers and decoration, fresh ones are better.
→ Why mix low-fat quark and mascarpone?
The combination makes the cream lighter and fresher than just mascarpone, but creamier than pure quark.

Yield: 6 Servings (6 dessert parfaits)

Dietary: Vegetarian

Ingredients

→ For the creamy layers

01 1 pound (500g) fresh strawberries
02 1 cup (250g) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
03 1 cup (250g) low-fat quark or Greek yogurt

→ For the base

04 3.5 oz (100g) ladyfinger cookies (about 2 per serving)
05 1/2 cup (100ml) orange juice (or try strawberry liqueur or amaretto for an adult version)

→ For sweetness & flavor

06 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
07 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 packet vanilla sugar
08 1 lime, juice only
09 Fresh mint leaves or lemon balm for garnish

Instructions

Step 01

Take about 1 cup (150g) of the strawberries and puree them with 1 tablespoon of sugar using a blender or food processor. Set aside in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest.

Step 02

In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone, quark (or Greek yogurt), remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, lime juice, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and well blended. Wash, hull, and dice about 1½ cups (250g) of the remaining strawberries and gently fold them into the cream mixture.

Step 03

Break the ladyfingers into pieces and divide them among your serving glasses. Drizzle the orange juice (or your chosen liquid) over the cookies to moisten them. Spoon some of the cream mixture over the soaked cookies, then add a layer of the strawberry puree. Repeat with a second layer of each.

Step 04

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Before serving, slice the remaining strawberries and arrange them on top along with fresh mint or lemon balm leaves for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

  1. Chilling time is important for the dessert to set properly and for the flavors to develop.
  2. This recipe makes 4 large (7oz/200ml) parfaits or 6 smaller servings.
