Ingredients
Scale
Ladyfingers and Soaking Liquid
- 14 ounces ladyfingers
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¾ cup orange liqueur (divided into ½ cup and ¼ cup; Cointreau preferred, Triple Sec works too)
Cream Mixture
- 16 ounces mascarpone, room temperature
- 16 ounces heavy whipping cream, chilled
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar, sifted
Fruit Layer
- 13 ounces strawberry preserve
- 32 ounces strawberries, hulled and sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Filling: In a large bowl, combine room temperature mascarpone and sifted powdered sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy whipping cream to soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated to create a light and creamy filling.
- Prepare Soaking Liquid: In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice with ½ cup of the orange liqueur. Stir well to combine. This mixture will be used to soak the ladyfingers.
- Assemble the Tiramisu: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the soaking liquid, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy. Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfingers, then spread half of the strawberry preserve over the cream. Layer half of the sliced fresh strawberries on top.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the process by adding another layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream, strawberry preserve, and sliced strawberries.
- Finish and Chill: Drizzle the remaining ¼ cup of orange liqueur evenly over the top of the dessert. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the ladyfingers to soften into a luscious, creamy texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature mascarpone to avoid lumps and to mix more easily with the powdered sugar.
- Be careful not to oversoak the ladyfingers to prevent a soggy dessert; a quick dip is sufficient.
- For best flavor development, refrigerate the assembled tiramisu overnight.
- Fresh strawberries can be substituted with other berries if desired, such as raspberries or blueberries.
- The orange liqueur can be omitted or replaced with a non-alcoholic orange extract for a kid-friendly version.
