Common Questions About Strawberry Tiramisu
Can I Make This Without Alcohol?
Absolutely! You can replace the Grand Marnier in the strawberry sauce with orange juice for a non-alcoholic version. This is the way I typically do it since I know the kids will want some too!
How Do I Achieve the Perfect Mascarpone Cream?
For the perfect mascarpone cream, make sure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature and whip it until you see soft peaks.
This is one of those little tricks that can make or break your cream. Be careful not to over-whip! The last thing you want is to make it into butter, haha!
How Long Should the Tiramisu Chill?
Ideally, chill your tiramisu in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight. This helps the flavors to meld together and the dessert to set properly.
I know it can be hard to wait that long. However, it’s more than worth the time. Trust me, this version of tiramisu is the perfect way to get rave reviews from everyone who tries it!
Storage
I really love this easy recipe. It’s proof that you don’t need something really complicated to have an amazing dessert.
Refrigerator
Keep it covered with plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezer
It’s not recommended to freeze this dessert, as it may alter the texture of the mascarpone cheese and ladyfingers.
Tips
To make sure this is the closest thing to a perfect dessert possible, I’ve got a few pointers here.
- Use Fresh Strawberries: For the best flavor and presentation.
- Dip Quickly: To prevent the ladyfingers from getting too soggy.
- Layer Evenly: For a visually appealing and well-balanced dessert.
- Chill Thoroughly: This ensures that the tiramisu is set up properly.
- Garnish Before Serving: Top with fresh strawberries and a dusting of powdered sugar right before serving for the best look and taste.

How to Make Strawberry Tiramisu
This delicious strawberry tiramisu will be the talk of the house for some time. Trust me, the whole family will absolutely love it!
Filling
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, confectioner’s sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Do not overwhip or it will deflate.
- Fold in the mascarpone cheese. Set aside until ready to assemble.
Sauce
- Combine the strawberry jam, Grand Marnier (if using), and water in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine until smooth.
Assemble
- Using a 9×9 baking dish, set out the unwrapped ladyfingers and the strawberry jam mixture. Quickly dip a single ladyfinger at a time in the strawberry jam mixture, flipping to coat both sides. Place the dipped ladyfingers in the baking dish. Do not allow the ladyfinger to soak – a quick dip is sufficient. Continue until the bottom of the pan is covered in one layer of the ladyfingers.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers.
- Line up half of the sliced strawberries on top to create an even layer.
- Repeat with another layer of the dipped ladyfingers. If you’re using anything other than a 9×9 pan, you may need more or less ladyfingers. We used 28 ladyfingers for a 9×9 pan.
- Top with the remaining mascarpone mixture and spread evenly.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- When ready to serve, top with the remaining sliced strawberries and a dusting of confectioner’s sugar.
- Slice and serve.
