Tiramisu alle Fragole (Italian Strawberry Tiramisu (1 of 2)

Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts. This strawberry version, Tiramisu alle Fragole, is perfect for summer or even as a special Valentine’s Day dessert. Ladyfingers are dipped in a pureed strawberry sauce, then layered with a mascarpone cream mixture. Garnish with additional strawberries, chopped pistachios, and lemon zest before serving. Since Chad doesn’t like traditional tiramisu, this version was perfect for him.

Disclosure: This recipe uses raw eggs. Consuming raw eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially with certain medical conditions. Be safe about the source of your eggs or used pasteurized. The strawberries are also soaked with rum (omit if desired). This recipe is intended only for those over the age of 21 (in the United States). Please drink responsibly.

I used smaller glasses for serving, so I cut the ladyfingers in half before dipping so they would fit easier. The layers can also be arranged in an 8×8 inch baking dish instead of individual glasses.

If desired, lime juice and zest can be used in place of the lemon.

      The recipe uses raw egg, so not quite Evan friendly! Maybe when he gets a bit older 😛

    The strawberry sauce looks delicious. Tiramisu has always been a great mystery for me. I’m excited about this recipe. Interesting ingredient Mascarpone cheese. Could I find that at my local grocery store?

    I’ve never tried this type of tiramisu, it looks absolutely delicious and so summery!
    I love that you did them in individual servings too, my favourite way to make dessert!

    I absolutely love tiramisu and the addition of strawberries just takes it to a whole other level. Delightful.
