A dessert filled with freshness and very light: the Strawberry lemon tiramisu and shortbread cookies ! A simple and quick recipe to prepare to enjoy the beautiful seasonal strawberries... We particularly like its creaminess and its richness in strawberries.
When the good weather comes, we don't necessarily want to spend hours in the kitchen preparing a dessert... So we happily rely on a dessert by the glass and without baking, like this Strawberry Tiramisu!
What ingredients to make this strawberry lemon tiramisu?
The choice of strawberries for this dessert is essential: take them well scented, that is to say ripe. They must still be able to be cut easily without being crushed.
The combination chosen for this tiramisu is strawberry and lemon: I mixed lemon juice for both lime zest for this recipe. If you wish, you can use only lemon (juice and zest) or lime (juice and zest). We want a fresh and fruity result!
The basis of this tiramisu consists of crumbled shortbread cookies (to change cookies with a spoon), a bit like a cheesecake after all.
The filling is that of a tiramisu, that is to say, mascarpone, eggs, sugar. I added a touch of gelatin to ensure the dessert held together perfectly.
How to make this strawberry tiramisu?
We start by realizing the biscuit background by mixing the shortbread with the melted butter and then packing this mixture into the bottom of the glasses. Then cut the strawberries in half and stick them inside the glasses. Then refrigerate.
Then we prepare the garnish, by whisking the egg yolks and sugar then adding the mascarpone, lemon juice and lime zest. Melt the softened gelatin and add it to this mixture. Beat the egg whites until stiff and then incorporate.
This mixture is poured into the glasses and then completed with a mascarpone whipped cream, the remaining strawberries and a piece of shortbread for the decoration. These strawberry lemon tiramisu will be even better if they are refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
