  • ¾ cup (188 ml) water
  • 3 cups (498 g) strawberries, fresh or frozen
  • 2 cups (500 ml) heavy cream (35%)
  • 1 cup + 3 tbsp (1 container / 275 g) mascarpone cheese, room temperature

Instructions
For the strawberry syrup:

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the Redpath Simply Raw™ Turbinado Sugar and water. Bring to a boil. Add the strawberries and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook down for 15–20 minutes, or until the strawberries have softened. Cool slightly, then blend using an immersion blender until smooth.

For the tiramisu:

Step 1

In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream with the vanilla extract. Slowly add in the Redpath® Granulated Sugar until stiff peaks form.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, add the mascarpone cheese and ⅓ of the whipped cream; mix together. Fold the mascarpone mixture into the whipped cream. Fold in half of the cooled strawberry syrup.

Step 3

Place the other half of the cooled strawberry syrup in a shallow dish. Dip the ladyfingers in the syrup, then place them in a single layer in a 2 to 2.5 quart (8 to 10 cups) oval dish.

Step 4

Spread half the mascarpone cream, then another layer of the dipped ladyfingers.

Step 5

Pipe or top it off with the remaining mascarpone cream.

Step 6

Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Step 7

Garnish the tiramisu right before serving.
