Strawberry Tiramisu ♥

Ingredients

400 (1 punnet) strawberries

4 tablespoons caster sugar, divided

250g mascarpone cheese

120ml (4 fl oz) whipping cream

2 tablespoons coffee-flavoured liqueur

18 lady finger biscuits or sponge fingers

80ml (5 ½ tablespoons) chilled espresso

2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting (but i Forgot this step =____= )

Preparation method

1.		Cut off the tops of the strawberries and slice the berries. Reserve 2 whole berries for the garnish.
2.		In a blender, place a third of the sliced berries and 1 tablespoon of sugar; blend to puree and set aside. Alternatively, you can skip using a blender, and just use a steel spoon to press and mince the strawberry into creamy strawberry paste/ puree.
3.		In a medium bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, half of the cream, 1 tablespoon of sugar and liqueur; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
.		Place 6 ladyfingers onto a serving plate, brush each with the cold espresso. Spread 1/2 the cheese mixture over the ladyfingers, and layer with half of the sliced strawberries.
5.		Repeat with the next 6 ladyfingers, espresso, remaining cheese mixture and sliced strawberries; top with remaining 6 lady fingers. ( the lady fingers not enough FML =_____=")
6.		In a small bowl combine remaining cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar; beat with electric mixer on medium-high until just whipped, approx 2 minutes. Spread whipped cream evenly over top layer of ladyfingers. Dust cocoa over whipped cream, garnish with 2 reserved strawberries.
7.		Pour strawberry puree onto two serving plates. Cut tiramisu in half, place onto puree. Or you can opt for pouring the puree on the cake, on top of the top creamy layer, that is what I did. :) Put in the fridge for 2 hours and it is ready to be served!
