Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Tiramisu
- Start by washing, hulling, and chopping about two cups of fresh strawberries. In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries with half a cup of sugar and the juice of one lemon. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the strawberries soften and release their juices. Mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a bit of water and add it to the saucepan, simmering for another 3 minutes until thickened. Once done, remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of mascarpone cheese, 1 cup of chilled coconut cream, and half a cup of sweetened condensed milk. Use an electric mixer to whip the mixture on medium speed for 3-5 minutes until it becomes smooth and fluffy, resembling soft peaks. Once whipped, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate to let it chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare a baking dish by laying down a single layer of ladyfingers, about 12 pieces. Brush them lightly with the cooled strawberry confit. Spread half of the chilled cream mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it with a spatula. Next, spoon half of the strawberry confit over the cream. Repeat the process with another layer of ladyfingers, the remaining cream, and the rest of the strawberry confit.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to set properly.
- Before serving, dust the top with a sprinkle of strawberry powder or freshly sliced strawberries. Cut into generous portions, and serve chilled.
