This post is in partnership with DeLallo – their Ladyfingers are perfect for this recipe!

Strawberry tiramisu! I tested this recipe multiple times to get it just right, and I’m excited to share it with you in time for the Fourth of July.

This dessert is perfect for summer celebrations. It’s no-bake, packed with fresh strawberries, and the luxe layers of fluffy ladyfingers, berries, and cream make it feel super impressive.

This recipe is fairly simple to make, but heads up that it needs to chill for at least 8 hours before you slice and serve. I promise, the wait is worth it!

Ingredient Spotlight: Ladyfingers

Unless you’ve made tiramisu before, you probably haven’t worked with ladyfingers. They’re traditional Italian cookies with a light, airy, crisp texture and delicately sweet flavor. When used in tiramisu, they soften and take on a more cake-like texture.

I tested this recipe with various brands of ladyfingers, and DeLallo’s were my favorite. Their ladyfingers are made in Italy and are more delicate than others. After chilling, they almost have the texture of angel food cake.

How to Make Strawberry Tiramisu

The complete recipe with measurements is at the end of this post, but here’s an overview with step-by-step photos:

Step 1: Make the Strawberry Syrup

Simmer diced strawberries with balsamic and a little sugar, then strain to separate the solids and juices.

• Set aside the solids for assembling.
• Thin the juices with ½ cup of water and chill.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Filling

You’ll need four ingredients for the creamy filling: mascarpone cheese, vanilla, heavy cream, and powdered sugar.

• Mix mascarpone and vanilla together.
• Whip the cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form (about 5-6 minutes).
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone.

Step 3: Assemble the Tiramisu

Start with a layer of ladyfingers dipped in strawberry syrup, then layer the cream mixture and sliced strawberries in between.

Step 4: Chill

Cover and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

After chilling, it’s ready to eat! Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Strawberry Tiramisu Recipe Tips

• Trim the ladyfingers. Depending on your baking dish, you might need to trim them for even layers.
• Dip quickly. Avoid soaking ladyfingers for too long.
• Use room temperature mascarpone. This helps it blend smoothly with the whipped cream.
