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.

A Few Tips

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 x 8 inch (20 x 20 centimeter) baking dish instead of individual glasses.

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