By now you are all familiar with the Mamma Flora's classic tiramisù. This is an amazing summer version I have learnt from an old lady I met during a family gathering. Her tiramisù was soo delicious I ran to her asking for the recipe. Recipes are for sharing and she was so happy I asked for it.
Mamma Flora’s Tip: Leave the Tiramisù at least 2 hours in the fridge before serving, but if you want to serve a spectacular Tiramisù, make sure you prepare it the day before serving it, some dishes are better the day after.
Ingredients:
-
500gr mascarpone
-
400g fresh strawberries
-
3 free range organic eggs
-
3 big juicy oranges
-
3 tablespoons sugar + 1 tablespoon sugar for the strawberries
-
2 packages of sponge fingers of 175gr
-
drops of lemon juice
Tools:
-
3 bowls
-
electric whisker or a normal whisk
-
shallow dish, otherwise you can serve it in individual cups
Method:
-
Cut the strawberries in small pieces and place them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of sugar on top and the juice of the 3 oranges. Mix it and leave to rest for 10min
-
Let’s prepare the cream
-
Divide the egg yolks and the egg whites. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar. Rub the egg cream between your fingers: when ready, it should be completely smooth
-
Add the mascarpone to the mix and continue to whisk, whisk until it becomes white and fluffy and put aside for the moment
-
In a separate bowl whip the egg whites with 3 drops of lemon juice until they become stiff peaks
-
Add them to the mixture slowly with a spoon and when stirring make a movement from the bottom to the top so that the mix stays airy and fluffy
-
Remove the strawberries from the bowl, leaving the juice. Mix the drained strawberries with the mascarpone cream.
- A very important part is soaking the sponge fingers in the juice, soak them one by one and make sure they are not too dry inside
- Place them in a shallow dish and cover with the first layer of mascarpone cream, make two or three layers of biscuits and mascarpone cream. Place some strawberries to decorate.

Leave the Tiramisù at least 2 hours in the fridge and enjoy!
