Slightly sour taste of the strawberry complements the creamy flavour of the tiramisu, creating dessert heaven!--- by my husband.

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

500g fresh strawberry, washed, trimmed and cut in half
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp cointreau or dark rum
2 large egg whites
50g granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
250g mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
1 tbsp honey
150ml single cream
1/2 lemon, juiced
10 Savoiardi or sponge fingers, roughly crushed
1 tbsp instant coffee
2 tbsp amaretto
100ml hot water
1 tbsp cocoa powder
*Transparent glasses to serve would be more attractive. I used the glasses with 9cm across each.

Steps:

  • To marinate the strawberries, mix all the ingredients together gently and put in the fridge for 24 hours.
  • To make the sponge, arrange the crushed sponge fingers into the bottom of each glass. Mix the remaining ingredients and allow to cool.
  • To make cheese cream, in a bowl, place the egg yolks and honey lightly beaten, add the mascarpone cheese and stir until smooth. Pour the single cream and lemon juice into the bowl and mix together well.
  • For the meringue, in a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with half of the sugar (25g) until well mixed , add the remaining sugar, continue whisking till the stiff peaks form, then fold them into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Pour the cooled coffee mixture over the crushed sponge finger in the serving dishes. Line the marinated strawberry along the inner-side of glasses (the cut facing against the glass, see photo), spread the mascarpone mixture over the coffee soaked sponge and the strawberries. Put in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Dust with cocoa powder just before you serve.
