An elegant and refreshing twist on the classic Italian tiramisu. This Strawberry Tiramisu Roll features syrup-soaked ladyfingers wrapped around a luscious strawberry mascarpone cream.
1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
1 8 ounce container mascarpone cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioner sugar
1/4 cup strawberry syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 7 ounce package crisp ladyfingers
1 pound fresh strawberries for garnish
1. Simmer sliced strawberries with water, crush them, and strain to extract juice.
2. Boil the juice with sugar and lemon juice to create a thickened syrup, then chill until cold.
3. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold into a smooth mixture of mascarpone, sugar, vanilla, and 1/4 cup syrup.
4. Reserve 1 cup of plain cream; fold chopped strawberries into the remaining cream.
5. Dip ladyfingers briefly in syrup and arrange in a 15 by 10 inch rectangle on plastic wrap.
6. Spread strawberry cream over the ladyfingers and roll into a tight log using the plastic wrap.
7. Chill for at least 4 hours. Before serving, coat with reserved cream and decorate with fresh strawberry slices.
Do not over-soak the ladyfingers or the roll will become mushy.
Ensure the mascarpone is at room temperature to avoid clumping.
Best if chilled overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the structure to set.
