Strawberrymisu

This is not a tiramisu recipe but a strawberrymisu recipe. In Italy it is called Tiramisu alle fragole meaning tiramisu with strawberries. It has the Savoiardi biscuits and Mascarpone cheese as in tiramisu but instead of coffee strawberries are used. I tried this recipe the first time and it was the perfect dessert after a heavy meal - light, sweet and fresh. Also reminded me of the sweet summer :) I think this dessert will become one of my favorites because its easy and quick to make and tastes amazing. 

Just a few notes:
- Any biscuits can work but Savoiardi biscuits is the original Italian biscuits
- I brushed the biscuits with the juice of the strawberries but for example orange juice could be used too.
- I used a strawberry jam I had made in the summer that had strawberries cut in quarters and mixed with sugar. Another option is to use fresh strawberries mixed with little bit of jam.  

Strawberrymisu

16-20 Savoiardi biscuits (or Ladyfingers)
200 grams Mascarpone Cheese
1 tea spoon Vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
3-4 table spoons icing sugar
2 desiliters heavy whipping cream
1-2 tea spoon lemon juice
1 jar of homemade strawberry jam or about 2 dl of fresh strawberries cut in pieces

For the filling beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add in the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and lemon juice and mix.

To ensemble the cake brush the biscuits with juice from the strawberries. Spread a thin layer of the filling on the bottom of the baking dish. I used a glass salad bowl but almost any kind of dish works. Line with biscuits, spread filling again and top with strawberry pieces. Repeat putting biscuits, filling and strawberries until done. Place in the fridge fro a few hours or overnight. Enjoy!
