Strawberry tiramisu

on

Today I'd like to share a recipe for a delicious, moist no-bake cake. We'll prepare a tiramisu with the characteristic mascarpone and egg yolk filling, and to give it a summer vibe we'll soak biscuits in a strawberry sauce.


The cake is just melt-in-your-mouth. Biscuits absorb the filling and are soft, cocoa brings delicate chocolate notes, while the sauce add in freshness of the strawberries. It's an ideal cake for special occasions!

You'll find the list of ingredients, method and approximate nutritional value below. I prepared two cakes out of the ingredients listed - one in a 1.5 l container and another one in 1 l container - and still had some leftover filling.



Ingredients

Filling

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 6 tbsp sugar (~90 g)
  • 3 packs mascarpone (~750 g)

Rest of ingredients

  • 60 biscuits
  • 300 g strawberries for sauce
  • 70 ml limoncello
  • 1 tbsp darkP cocoa (~15 g)
  • 100 g strawberries for decorating

Method

  1. Prepare the filling. Put a heatproof bowl onto a pan with boiling water. Pour in 6 large egg yolks and beat them with a mixer until they increase in volume. Once this happens, add 90 g sugar in batches, mixing until combined after each part. Once you use all of the sugar, egg yolks should be thick, light and fluffy.
  2. Take the egg yolks off the heat. Continue beating with an electric mixer for another minute, until they cool down slightly.
  3. Put 750 g mascarpone into a large bowl and break it up a bit with a silicone spatula. Slowly add in the egg yolks - one, maybe two tablespoons at a time. Mix the ingredients after each tablespoon with a silicone spatula until combined and uniform. After mixing all of the egg yolks in, put the filling for a while into a fridge.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the strawberry sauce. Put 300 g strawberries into a large jug, add in 70 ml limoncello and blend until smooth. Limoncello may be substituted with fresh lemon juice.
  5. Assemble tiramisu. Soak each biscuit in a strawberry sauce for 3 seconds and place them in a dish. Line them up as tightly as possible in a single layer to create the base. Pour a thin layer of filling on top. Only use enough to cover the biscuits and create an even layer. Scatter a generout amount of dark cocoa on top.
  6. Create the next layer out of strawberry soaked biscuits. Repeat all the steps until you have three layers made out of biscuits, filling and cocoa. Put assembled tiramisu into a fridge for a few hours or, best, overnight.
  7. Decorate the cake with fresh strawberries just before serving.
  8. Enjoy!
