Notes
For extra strawberry flavor, add a bit of strawberry liqueur to the syrup.
Chill the whipped cream bowl and beaters before whipping for best results.
Place the mascarpone into a piping bag and pipe over the ladyfingers.
Make it in individual cups or jars for a fun presentation.
Strain the strawberry purée if you want a smoother syrup.
Save the extra puree to pour over each serving if desired.
Add a thin layer of strawberry jam for a boost of fruity sweetness.
Decorate the tiramisu with sliced strawberries and mint leaves.
Garnish just before serving to keep the top looking fresh.
Leftovers keep well for up to 2 days in the fridge, but the ladyfingers may soften further over time.
