The strawberry tiramisu is quick to prepare and then just needs time to chill. It’s especially important to soak the ladyfingers only briefly so they become moist but retain their texture.

 

  1. Prepare strawberries
    Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and cut into small pieces. Mix with lemon juice and vanilla sugar and let sit briefly.
  2. Mix the mascarpone cream
    Mix mascarpone with sugar and EXAKT Vodka until creamy and smooth.
  3. Fold in the whipped cream
    Whip the cream until stiff and carefully fold it into the mascarpone cream. This will keep the cream nice and airy.
  4. soak ladyfingers
    Briefly dip the ladyfingers in a mixture of EXAKT Vodka and a little water. Soak them only lightly so they don’t become too soft.
  5. Tiramisu layers
    Layer ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and marinated strawberries alternately in dessert glasses or a dish. Finish with a layer of mascarpone cream.
  6. Chill
    Let the strawberry tiramisu sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop. It will be even more flavorful if chilled for a few more hours or overnight.
  7. Garnish & Serve
    Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberries and, if desired, a sprig of mint.

 

EXAKT Tip: Soak the ladyfingers only very briefly—this way, the individual layers remain clearly visible, and the tiramisu turns out creamy without getting mushy. For an especially intense strawberry flavor, lightly mash a few berries and mix them into the marinated strawberries.

 

That’s how it tastes
Fruity, creamy, and pleasantly fresh: Juicy strawberries meet airy mascarpone cream and soft ladyfingers. EXAKT Vodka gives this summery dessert a distinct additional note without overpowering the strawberry flavor.

Recipe story

Strawberry Tiramisu – An Italian Classic with a Summery Freshness

Tiramisu is one of the best-known desserts in Italian cuisine and is particularly closely associated with Treviso in the Veneto region. The traditional version consists of mascarpone, egg yolks, sugar, ladyfingers, coffee, and cocoa. The restaurant Le Beccherie in Treviso officially added the name “Tiramisù” to its menu in 1970.

The name comes from the Trevisan expression “Tiremesù,” which roughly means “pull me up” or “give me strength.” Over time, numerous variations of this Italian classic have emerged—including fruity versions with strawberries.

Our strawberry tiramisu recipe with vodka highlights the dessert’s summery side. Fresh strawberries replace the classic coffee-cocoa flavor, while mascarpone and ladyfingers provide the typical tiramisu character. EXAKT Vodka complements the fruity sweetness of the strawberries with a clean, delicate note.

This dessert is perfect for making ahead, making it ideal for a dinner party, a garden party, or a summer evening. Served well chilled, the combination of strawberries, creamy mascarpone, and vodka really shines.
