Instructions
To create the delicious Strawberry Tiramisù with Limoncello Cream, follow these easy steps, beginning with the preparation of the mascarpone cream.
-
Prepare the Mascarpone Cream:
- In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, combine the egg yolks and icing sugar. Whisk until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale, resembling a soft, smooth cream.
- Once the cream has reached the desired consistency, gently fold in the mascarpone cheese. The cream should be smooth and well-combined.
- Transfer the mascarpone cream into a piping bag for easy application.
-
Prepare the Strawberries:
- Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into small pieces.
- Place the chopped strawberries in a small bowl, adding the grated zest of one lemon and the juice of the same lemon.
- Sprinkle over 30g of sugar and stir well to combine. Let the strawberries macerate for about 15 minutes to draw out their juices.
-
Prepare the Soaking Syrup (Bagna):
- In a small saucepan, combine 75ml of water, 30g of limoncello, and 20g of sugar.
- Squeeze in the juice of one lemon and stir everything together. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.
-
Assemble the Tiramisù:
- Take the ladyfingers (savoiardi) and cut them in half. Quickly dip each half into the cooled soaking syrup, ensuring they absorb the flavors without becoming too soggy.
- In a serving glass or dessert bowl, place a layer of the soaked ladyfingers.
- Top with a spoonful of the mascarpone cream and spread it gently with the back of a spoon.
- Add a layer of macerated strawberries, then repeat the layers starting with the soaked ladyfingers, followed by more mascarpone cream, and another layer of strawberries.
- Finish with a final layer of mascarpone cream, filling the glass or bowl to the top.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- For a decorative touch, slice a strawberry in half and place it on top of the tiramisù.
- Chill the tiramisù in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up.
Enjoy this refreshing twist on the classic tiramisù, where the rich mascarpone cream meets the tangy sweetness of strawberries and the citrusy kick of limoncello.
