Description
There’s something magical about strawberries and cream—it takes me back to summers in Grandma’s garden, where the berries were sweet and the laughter sweeter. This elegant Strawberry Tiramisu Roll is a fresh twist on the classic, blending velvety mascarpone with a gentle zing of berry syrup. It’s a dessert that brings joy to every slice—try it for your next gathering and see the smiles bloom.
Ingredients
Strawberry Syrup:
1 lb strawberries, hulled & sliced
½ cup water
¾ cup white sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
Mascarpone Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
½ cup confectioner’s sugar
¼ cup strawberry syrup (from above)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Assembly:
1 (7 oz) package crisp ladyfingers (1×4-inch, e.g., Mathilde Vicenzi Vicenzovo)
1 lb strawberries, hulled & thinly sliced
Instructions
Make the Syrup: In a saucepan, combine strawberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Strain and cool. Reserve ¼ cup for the cream.
Prepare the Cream: Beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix mascarpone, sugar, syrup, and vanilla. Fold in the whipped cream gently.
Assemble the Roll: Line a large sheet of plastic wrap. Quickly dip ladyfingers in the remaining syrup, placing them side-by-side in a rectangle. Spread mascarpone cream over, then a layer of sliced strawberries.
Roll It Up: Using the wrap, gently roll the dessert into a log. Wrap tightly and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
Serve: Unwrap, garnish with extra cream and berries if desired, and slice.
