Strawberry season has started here in Germany. Yay! Are you one of those individuals that cannot say »no« to those little red fellas? Every time I go shopping somehow one of those little trays/baskets with strawberries ends up in my shopping cart. I do not even notice it until I am out of the supermarket. Well… there are worse things that could happen, right? If you always have some strawberries at home, you always have something nice to snack on, or in my case here you can prepare a nice Strawberry Tiramisu with Baileys Strawberries & Cream.
I really love strawberries and also raspberries. A bowl with these fellas in front of me is gone in no time. That’s the reason I use it fairly regularly in my bakes and desserts in summer. Fortunately, we are pretty close to some strawberry farms in Brandenburg. If you like to you can actually go there and get them directly from the fields where they grow… quite convenient if you don’t have a garden yourself.
For this tiramisu with strawberries, I did not have to go out to the fields. I get something called »Bio Kiste« each week – it’s a box of fruits and veggies from an organic farm close by which is delivered directly to your front door. So this week I was lucky and had some nice organic strawberries in the box and I guess you are lucky because I was able to make this delicious tiramisu with strawberries for you. Well, almost for you… you can make it at home yourself with the recipe if you want to.
For the other ingredients I had to go to the supermarket and kind of hunt them down. Especially the Baileys Strawberries & Cream – that liquor is a limited edition from Baileys (Advertising) and only available for a short time this summer. I really like it and it was a perfect fit for the tiramisu instead of maybe more »traditional« marsala or amaretto. So just in case you want to try yourself – go and grab a bottle. I saw it also online on Amazon* if you can’t get a hold of it in a supermarket close by.
The recipe is made for four servings – I recommend making it in a glass jar or drinking glass so you can actually see the layers of the tiramisu, but small bowls are also fine. At the end it’s all about the flavors and looks are not that important, right? Since the strawberries are already quite sweet right now, I did not add that much sugar to the cream – I suppose you can reduce it even more if you like to. If you want to reduce the fat in the dessert as well, you can change the mascarpone and yogurt ratio to more yogurt. Should make the dessert a bit »lighter«. The only thing you should not play with: the liquor. That has the perfect dosage.
What is your favorite recipe with strawberries? Do you have something you make every year when those red berries are in season? Please let me know in the comments.
