Ingredients

Scale

3 cups of Water

4 Chamomile Tea Bags

1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons of Sugar, divided

2 pounds of Fresh Strawberries

1 cup of Heavy Whipping Cream

16 ounces of Mascarpone Cheese

2 teaspoons of chopped mint

2 packages of Savioardi (ladyfingers)

Instructions

  1. You will need a stand mixer or hand held mixer, a 13×9 casserole dish, a saucepan, an immersion blender, a rubber scraper, and two mixing bowls.
  2. Start by brewing the chamomile tea. In a 2 quart saucepan, boil the three cups of water along with one quarter cup of sugar and add the four tea bags. Once the water has reached a boiling point, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the tea to steep and cool while you complete the next part of the process.
  3. Add one cup of heavy cream and one quarter cup of the sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer, or a mixing bowl if you are using a hand held mixer. Whip the cream until firm, about 3 minutes. Scrape the whipped cream into another bowl and chill in the refrigerator. There is no need to wash your mixing bowl, you will still need it for the mascarpone.Whisk attachment with whipped cream.
  4. Take six of the two pounds of strawberries and roughly chop them. Add them to the chamomile tea and allow it to continue to steep.Chopped strawberries.
  5. Cut the remaining strawberries into slices. If your strawberries are large, they could be cut into four slices, or three if they are smaller.Sliced strawberries.
  6. Once the strawberries are sliced, remove the tea bags from the saucepan and use an immersion blender to puree the chopped strawberries you added to the tea.Pureeing the strawberries.
  7. Chop fresh mint until you have two teaspoons. Add the 16 ounces of mascarpone and the two teaspoons of mint along with the two teaspoons of sugar to the mixing bowl and use the paddle attachment to whip on low speed for about a minute.Whipping the mint with the mascarpone.

Notes

Recipe Variations

You can try using hibiscus or a berry flavored tea for this recipe (it would make the tiramisu a purplish color) if you want a slightly different flavor profile.

You can easily cut this recipe in half or double it, just make sure to adjust the size of your pan accordingly.

If you don’t care for mint, you are welcome to leave it out. 

If you have any elderflower syrup or liqueur, it would be wonderful added to the tea mixture.

You can always brew the chamomile tea stronger if you want a more pronounced flavor.

Storage Tips

This tiramisu will store just fine in the casserole dish topped with foil for about 4 or 5 days. After that, the strawberries will start to look a bit sad.

Strawberry Tiramisu Pro Tips

Don’t soak the ladyfingers long, they just need a quick dunk!

Use the best strawberries you can find, and make this right after you buy them to ensure the strawberries don’t go bad after you’ve made the tiramisu.

If you want more mascarpone whipped cream mixture between the layers, you can increase the heavy cream by 1/2 cup and add one extra tablespoon of sugar when you make the whipped cream.
