Strawberry Tiramisu is a lovely twist on the classic Italian tiramisu, with fresh strawberries.

Easy to prepare.Great no-bake chilled dessert, perfect for parties and potlucks

Nanny's Strawberry Tiramisu! What a sight to behold.

Here, Nanny has made a wonderful dessert using fresh strawberries and a nice Cointreau orange liquor, in addition to the other components to turn this into a strawberry tiramisu.

Nanny tells us this is not an overly sweet dessert, but that is how her family likes it.

You can, of course, add some powdered sugar to the Marscapone cheese and or cool whip if you have a particularly sweet tooth. The choice is yours!

This is easy to make, involves no baking and is best served after being chilled overnight, so great as a make-ahead dessert too!

This strawberry tiramisu is a great dessert to take to a party or potluck.

It's easily transported so long as you keep it in the original dish used to prepare.

Simply cover with plastic wrap, keep chilled and take along to your gathering.

It will go fast so you will probably need to double up the recipe! 

So without further ado, let's see how to make Nanny's strawberry tiramisu recipe. Recipe by Pat Milton

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix together Strawberry jam, Cointreau and orange juice. Set aside.

2. In another bowl, mix together the Marscapone cheese with the vanilla extract, then mix in ⅔rds of the cool whip.

Set aside the remaining ⅓ of the cool whip as this is for the topping.

Taste the mixture and if you prefer sweeter, add some powdered sugar to sweeten to your preference.

3. To assemble, first spread a layer of ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9 x 11-inch dish. (the photo below is a smaller portion)

Then spread a layer of HALF the jam mixture, then a layer of HALF the Marscapone mixture.

Smooth evenly, then arrange sliced strawberries on top.

Repeat the layers again, with the remaining mixtures, so ladyfingers, then jam mixture, then Marscapone, ending with a layer of sliced strawberries.

Finally spread the last ⅓ of the Cool Whip evenly over the top and if you have any ladyfingers left, crush them and sprinkle all over.

4. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. This is best served chilled the following day.
