I’ve been making this wonderful strawberry tiramisu for years. It’s a delicious dessert, perfectly suited for spring and summer.
This strawberry tiramisu is a recipe from Giada De Laurentiis and it is found on Epicurious. I lost my old copy and went back to Epicurious to print out another one. I was extremely surprised to see that there were some bad reviews on it.
I guess, since it’s not really a traditional tiramisu, I can understand how some people might miss the “pick me up” from the coffee not found in this recipe. Let me tell you though, strawberry tiramisu is an absolutely delicious interpretation of the famous dessert! I love traditional tiramisu.
If you’re looking for that, tiramisu is a wonderful version I made a few months ago.
But this Strawberry Tiramisu dessert is not one that you should wait too long to try. Seriously! Its mascarpone layer is sweetened, flavored with Cointreau, and lightened up with delicious whipped cream. Instead of dipping the ladyfingers in espresso, you cover them in a layer with a mixture of strawberry preserves, orange juice and a healthy splash of Cointreau. I mean COME ON! What’s not to absolutely love and start doing backflips over?
The only reason I even bothered to mention the few bad reviews, was because, if you happened to see them in the past and were deterred by them, I want to tell you that I think they came from people who had very strict expectations of what this dessert should be.
Give it a try. It’s fairly quick to put together and I’ve only had 100% RAVE reviews whenever I’ve made this. Enjoy.

How to Store and Make Ahead
- How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? Your enchanting tiramisu will stay fresh and yummy in the fridge for 3-4 days when stored properly. This cold and creamy dessert goes down smooth and tastes divine, so don’t expect it to last that long. Every time I make one it’s gone the following day!
- Can You Freeze This? Technically, you probably can freeze this tiramisu, but I don’t recommend it at all. The fruit gets soggy and ruins the whole thing when it thaws. This is really just a throw-together with little gem that sits in the fridge overnight and gets gobbled up in a day or two and it is well worth the wait.
- Make-Ahead Tips: This is one of those desserts that you really want to put together a day or so ahead of time if at all possible. You can get away with just 4-6 hours of chill time but it’s so much better if you wait overnight. Sometimes I’ll clean all my fruit and get it ready ahead of time to cut down on prep work.

Seems kinda silly that anyone would assume that this is suppposed to taste like regular tiramisu. Strawberries and coffee together sounds, gross! With strawberries in season I need to give this a try the kids love fruity desserts.
