Strawberry Tiramisu a Sweet, Delicious Dessert
Dessert · Flans, Puddings · Taste · Viktorija TodorovskaStrawberry season comes early in Nice. By mid-April, the first fragrant strawberries from the local hills grace the market in my neighbourhood. And as if fresh berries aren’t enough of a treat, this delightfully fluffy strawberry tiramisu never fails to impress. Vive la fraise!
This recipe is found in the cookbook Provence Food and Wine: The Art of Living,
filled with simple to make Provencal recipes and tempting photography by François Millo.
Strawberry Tiramisu
Tiramisu is not quite pudding, not really a flan, definitely not a cake, but absolutely delicious. However, the best thing about this recipe is how easy it is to prepare, and it can be made in advance.
Ingredients
For the Strawberry Tartar:
- 1 cup strawberries sliced
- 1 tbsp sugar
- juice of ½ lime
For the Tiramisu:
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup sugar
- 8 oz (227 g) Mascarpone
- ½ cup pistachios shelled, unsalted, toasted, and chopped
- 1 ½ tbsp cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
To make the Strawberry Tartar:
- In a bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lime juice. Set aside.
To make the Tiramisu:
- Separate the yolks and the whites.
- In a small bowl, beat the yolks with half the sugar until thick and white.
- In a medium bowl, beat the whites with the remaining sugar to soft peaks.
- Combine the yolks and the whites, then fold in the mascarpone.
- In 4 mason jars, place 1 tablespoon of the mascarpone mixture, then some strawberries, more mascarpone, a layer of pistachios, and finish with a layer of mascarpone. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Before serving, dust the surface with the cocoa powder.
- Serve chilled.
