For the Strawberry Purée
  • 3 pounds Fresh Strawberries Provides natural sweetness and flavor; substitute with seasonal berries for variety.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Strawberry Purée by washing and hulking 1 pound of fresh strawberries. Blend with 1/3 cup of sugar and 4 tablespoons of Grand Marnier until smooth.
  2. Whisk the egg yolks with 2/3 cup of sugar for 5-7 minutes until pale and creamy.
  3. Mix in 16 ounces of mascarpone and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract gently until smooth.
  4. Whip 2 cups of heavy cream in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in three additions without deflating it.
  6. Dip ladyfinger cookies quickly in the strawberry puree and line the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish.
  7. Layer half of the mascarpone filling over the dipped ladyfingers, spreading it evenly.
  8. Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone filling.
  9. Chill the assembled tiramisu for at least 4 hours before serving.
  10. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices before serving.
