Cook's notes
- For best results, use room-temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Chill the tiramisu for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set properly.
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute the brandy with strawberry syrup or extra coffee.
- Slice strawberries evenly for a uniform layer and better presentation.
Frequently asked
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, but thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture that can make the tiramisu soggy.
Can I substitute mascarpone for cream cheese?
Absolutely! Mascarpone will give a richer, more traditional tiramisu texture.
How do I make this gluten-free?
Use gluten-free ladyfingers or sponge cake. Check all other ingredients for gluten.
Do I need to use coffee?
Coffee complements the brandy and strawberries, but you can omit it or use a coffee substitute.
