Strawberry Tiramisù
- 18-20 ounces strawberry
- 18 ounces mascarpone
- 5 eggs
- 7 tablespoons sugar
- 7-9 ounces Pavesini biscuits (or other spongy biscuits)
- pinch of salt
- cocoa powder to decorate
- Wash the strawberries; remove stalks and cut fruits into small pieces. Put them in a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar. Let the strawberries rest in the fridge for about an hour or more, until fruit juices are released (the more you wait, the more juices you have).
- Separate egg yolks from whites. In a bowl combine egg yolks and 5 tablespoons of sugar. Stir in mascarpone and mix well.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric beater till they're stiff and resemble whipped cream (egg whites are better and more easily beaten if you add a pinch of salt before starting). Stir the withes into the mascarpone mixture and mix well.
- Mash the strawberries into a puree with a stick blender (or a food processor). In a large and high-rimmed dish spread a thin layer of mascarpone cream. Soak the Pavesini biscuits one at a time into the strawberry puree and form a layer of biscuits over the first mascarpone layer. Spread a thick layer of mascarpone and again a layer of puree-soaked biscuits. End with a last thick layer of mascarpone. At the end of preparation, you should have five alternating layers: three layers of mascarpone and two layers of puree-soaked biscuits.
- Keep refrigerated for at least an hour or two before serving. Sprinkle cocoa powder on top for decoration. For a better result, sprinkle cocoa powder right before serving the tiramisu, otherwise it will be absorbed by the mascarpone cream.
