INGREDIENT NOTES:
STRAWBERRIES:
- Add the fresh, ripe strawberries to prepare the compote. We have to hull and roughly chop them properly to cook them evenly and provide the naturally sweet, fruity flavor.
MASCARPONE CHEESE:
- Include the mascarpone cheese to prepare the rich and creamy filling. We have to soften it slightly before mixing to provide a smooth consistency.
STRAWBERRY JAM:
- Add the strawberry jam to the hot water and lemon juice to prepare the flavorful dipping sauce. We have to stir it properly to dissolve the jam evenly.
LADYFINGERS:
- Include the ladyfingers to create the soft layers of the tiramisu. We have to dip them briefly into the strawberry sauce to avoid making them too soggy.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- We have to rinse, then hull the strawberries, then chop them. Save one portion for decoration.
- Include salt, water, lemon juice, strawberries, & sugar in the medium pan.
- Now cook it on a medium flame for eight to ten minutes, mixing it till the strawberries get soft and the mixture gets lightly thick.
- Put the pan on shelf to get cool then put it in the fridge till we assemble.
- Include the mascarpone cheese & sugar in the mixing vessel and beat softly till it gets smooth.
- Put the heavy cream, vanilla essence, salt, & lemon zest in the vessel and beat to form stiff peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream softly into the mascarpone mix with a rubber spatula.
- Add the hot water, strawberry jam, & lemon juice in a shallow vessel till the jam dissolves.
- Leave the mixture to get cool till it gets no longer hot.
- Now dip these ladyfingers in the strawberry sauce for some time.
- Put half the quantity of ladyfingers in one layer in a tray and spread half of the cool strawberry compote.
- Now add half the mascarpone cream evenly on the strawberry layer.
- Then include the dipped ladyfingers on top, then add the strawberry compote and mascarpone cream, and smooth the top part with a spatula.
- Cover the dish and put it in the fridge for four hours or for the whole night so the layers will set.
- Make the 12 portions and sprinkle the strawberry slices & lemon zest on top.
