Ingredients
Scale
Soaking Liquid
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¾ cup orange liqueur (divided into ½ cup and ¼ cup; preferably Cointreau or Triple Sec)
Base & Fruit Layers
- 14 ounces ladyfingers
- 13 ounces strawberry preserve
- 32 ounces strawberries, hulled and sliced
Mascarpone Cream
- 16 ounces mascarpone (room temperature)
- 16 ounces heavy whipping cream (chilled)
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar (sifted)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the room temperature mascarpone and sifted powdered sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light and creamy filling.
- Prepare Soaking Liquid: In a medium bowl, mix together the orange juice and ½ cup of the orange liqueur. Stir well to combine thoroughly for dipping the ladyfingers.
- Assemble the Tiramisu – First Layer: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the soaking liquid, ensuring they are moist but not soggy. Arrange a single layer of the soaked ladyfingers evenly at the bottom of your serving dish.
- Add Cream and Strawberry Layers: Spread half of the mascarpone cream evenly over the layer of ladyfingers. Then spread half of the strawberry preserve over the cream layer, followed by an even layer of half the sliced strawberries.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream, strawberry preserve, and sliced strawberries to create a second layer.
- Finish and Chill: Drizzle the remaining ¼ cup of orange liqueur over the top layer of strawberries. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld and the ladyfingers to soften to the perfect consistency before serving.
Notes
- For the best texture, do not soak the ladyfingers for too long; a quick dip is sufficient to avoid sogginess.
- Use cold heavy cream to ensure it whips properly, and mascarpone should be at room temperature for smooth mixing.
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute orange liqueur with additional orange juice or a non-alcoholic orange syrup.
- This dessert benefits from resting overnight, enhancing the melding of flavors.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal sweetness and flavor.
