Equipment

9 x 9 inch baking dish or casserole dish

Ingredients

1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
½ cup strawberry jam, seedless
¼ cup Grand Marnier (see notes for options)
¼ cup water
1 package ladyfingers (24 count)
1 pound strawberries, sliced
powdered sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Fold in the mascarpone and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the strawberry jam, Grand Marnier (if using), and water. Dip half of the ladyfingers in the mixture and arrange them in a single layer in the bottom of a 9 x 9 inch baking dish.
Spoon half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, spreading it evenly. Arrange half of the sliced strawberries on top of the mascarpone mixture.
Repeat the layering process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and finish with the mascarpone mixture. (Don't add the final layer of strawberries at this point). Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or up to 48 hours.
Before serving, arrange the remaining half of the sliced strawberries on top of the tiramisu. Dust with powdered sugar. Cut into 9 square slices and enjoy!

Notes

Grand Marnier Soak: to make this without alcohol, you can substitute orange juice for the Grand Marnier, or even extra strawberry jam and water. If you wanted more strawberry flavor, add strawberry liqueur instead. For a milder flavor, substitute water for half of the Grand Marnier in the soak.
Strawberries: make sure you are using the freshest and ripest strawberries you can find. And be sure not to add the final layer of strawberries on top of the tiramisu until after it comes out of the refrigerator.
Ladyfingers: these crunchy biscuits can be found in the cookie section of most grocery stores. One package (24 cookies) should be enough. Be sure to cut the ladyfingers to fit in the pan and save the leftover pieces for the top layer.
Refrigeration: plan ahead when making strawberry tiramisu. To give the recipe optimal flavor and to get the ladyfingers soft, this dish should chill for at least 12 hours, but 24 hours is ideal.
