Preparation: 30 minutes; refrigerate 3 hours before serving

6 servings

 

8.8 oz. Italian mascarpone

4 large eggs

3 ¼ oz. of sugar + 2 vanilla sugar packages (2 x 0.32 oz.) + 3 tbsp. for strawberries

32 oz. strawberries (divided)

½ lemon juice

1 package (5 oz.) of Meyer lemon cookies (Moravian)

 

Preparation of the strawberries:

Rinse the strawberries under running water and place them on paper towels. Remove the green cap and stem with a paring knife.

Put half the strawberries (16 oz.) in the bowl of a blender. Add the lemon juice and 3 tbsp. of sugar. Mix to obtain a puree.  You must have pieces of strawberries!

Cut the other 16 oz. of strawberries into pieces. Set aside.

 

Preparation of the tiramisu:

Separate the egg whites from the yolks and place them in the bowl of a stand mixer.

Put the egg yolks in a large bowl. Add the mascarpone and combine until smooth.

Whip the egg whites with 3 ¼ oz. of sugar and vanilla sugar until stiff.

Add the egg whites to the mascarpone and egg yolks. Combine all the ingredients.

 

Finishing of the dessert:

You will need 6 glasses.

Place 3 broken cookies in the bottom of each glass. Add 2 tbsp. of strawberry puree + 2 tbsp. of cut strawberries on top of the cookies.

Scoop some tiramisu preparation on top of the strawberries.

Add 3 more broken cookies into the glasses, cover with the puree and pieces of strawberries. Finish with the mascarpone.

Refrigerate 3 hours before serving. Garnish with fresh strawberries.
