Ingredients 

Instructions

  • Slice 16 oz fresh strawberries into ¼" thick slices. Toss the sliced berries with half of the granulated sugar and 6 oz Limoncello. Set aside for 1 hour to macerate.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk 4 egg yolks with the remaining sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and ⅛ teaspoon table salt until combined. Whisk on high speed until the mixture turns pale yellow. When the whisk is lifted it should leave a "ribbon" of eggs over the surface.
  • Reduce the speed to low and add 16 oz Mascarpone Cheese. Mix until smooth. Whip 8 oz Heavy Cream to stiff peak and fold it into the mascarpone mixture until smooth. Set the mixture aside.
  • Strain the strawberry slices, reserving the juice in a shallow bowl or pie plate.
  • Dip a lady finger into the strawberry juice. Give it a few seconds to absorb some of the liquid then place it in a 9"x9" square baking pan. Fit half the biscuits into the bottom of the pan.
  • Scoop 1/2 the mascarpone cream over the biscuits and smooth to an even layer. Sprinkle the strawberry slices in an even layer over the cream. Dip the remaining biscuits and fit them over the strawberries. Top with the remaining cream, smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
  • In a food processor, grind ½ oz freeze dried strawberries and 2 oz confectioner sugar to a power (see note). Just before serving the tiramisu, dust the top with a layer of the strawberry powder.
