Ingredients

Scale

Champagne Mixture

  • 1 3/4 cups (420ml) champagne
  • 1/3 cup (69g) sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Strawberries

  • 2 lbs fresh strawberries, washed, hulled and diced
  • 3 tbsp (24g) sugar

Mascarpone Filling

  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup (207g) sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups (10oz) mascarpone cheese*
  • 1 3/4 cups (420ml) heavy whipping cream, cold

Additional Layers and Decoration

  • 1 (17.5 ounce) package ladyfingers
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup (58g) powdered sugar
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Strawberries, for decorating

Instructions

  1. Prepare champagne syrup: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine champagne and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves fully. Remove from heat, stir in water, then transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until cooled to at least room temperature.
  2. Macereate strawberries: Toss diced strawberries gently with 3 tablespoons sugar to coat evenly; set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Begin mascarpone filling – egg yolks: Place egg yolks and 1 cup sugar in the top of a double boiler or metal mixing bowl over simmering water. Whisk continuously; the mixture will initially appear chunky but will smooth as it heats.
  4. Thicken egg mixture: Continue whisking vigorously for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens, becomes pale yellow, and increases in volume. Slight graininess is acceptable and will smooth later.
  5. Cool egg mixture: Remove the egg mixture from heat and set aside to cool slightly, warmer than room temperature.
  6. Whip cream for mascarpone filling: Using a stand or hand mixer, whip 1 3/4 cups cold heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  7. Combine mascarpone with egg mixture: Once eggs have cooled, fold mascarpone cheese gently into the egg yolk mixture until fully combined.
  8. Fold whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in two parts, preserving the airy texture. Set the filling aside.
  9. Saturate ladyfingers: Dip ladyfingers one at a time into the chilled champagne syrup for 3 seconds each to avoid oversaturation. Layer them closely in the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan, fitting approximately three rows per layer.
  10. Add strawberry layer: Spread half the diced strawberries evenly over the soaked ladyfingers.
  11. Layer mascarpone filling: Evenly spread half of the mascarpone cream over the strawberry layer, allowing berries to incorporate into the filling.
  12. Repeat layering: Repeat the ladyfinger soaking and layering process, then top with the remaining strawberries followed by the remaining mascarpone filling. Set aside to rest.
  13. Prepare decoration whipped cream: Whip 1 1/4 cups cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  14. Decorate tiramisu: Either spread the whipped cream over the assembled tiramisu or pipe decorative rosettes using a piping tip if desired. Garnish the top with fresh strawberries and optional sprinkles for a festive finish.

Notes

  • For safety and texture, ensure egg yolk mixture is heated and whisked thoroughly to become pale and thick, but not scrambled.
  • Keep whipping cream and mascarpone cold before mixing for best results in achieving a light, fluffy texture.
  • Dip ladyfingers quickly into champagne to prevent sogginess; adjust timing slightly based on ladyfinger type.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and can be refrigerated for several hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for maximum sweetness and flavor contrast.
