Strawberry tiramisu with orange juice: a fruity variant of the Italian classic

Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert whose origins date back to the 17th century. Traditionally, it consists of sponge fingers soaked in coffee and layered with a cream made from mascarpone, eggs, and sugar. In this modern twist, we add a fruity twist that's perfect for warm days and special occasions.
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Ingredients for 6 servings
- 500 g strawberries
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 250 g mascarpone
- 250 g low-fat curd cheese
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 100 g ladyfingers
- 6 tbsp orange juice
- possibly mint or lemon balm for garnishing
preparation
1. Preparing the strawberries:
Wash and stem all strawberries. Puree 100g of the strawberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar and refrigerate.
2. Prepare the mascarpone cream:
In a bowl, mix the mascarpone, low-fat quark, 2 tablespoons of sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla sugar until smooth. Chop the remaining 300g of strawberries and carefully fold them into the mascarpone cream.
3. Layers of the tiramisu:
Line a baking dish with sponge fingers and drizzle evenly with orange juice. Spread a layer of strawberry puree over the sponge fingers, followed by a layer of mascarpone cream. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used. The mascarpone cream should be the top layer.
4. Cooling:
Chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow it to infuse and the flavors to blend.
5. Decorate:
Before serving, garnish the tiramisu with the remaining strawberries and, if desired, with a few leaves of mint or lemon balm.
