Ricotta & Strawberry Tiramisu
Love tiramisu but want to switch things up? Try this gorgeous, healthy and refreshening strawberry tiramisu. It's super easy to make.
Equipment
- 1 chopping board
- 1 chopping knife
- 2 medium bowl
- 1 large pan
- 1 large jar or you can use a casserole
Ingredients
- 25 strawberries
- 2 tbsp PGI Platinum Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 250 gr ricotta
- vanilla essence just a pinch
- 1/2 handful roasted almonds
Instructions
- Wash all your strawberries. Chop about 18 strawberries into small pieces.
- Add half to pot or pan, with 1/2 tablespoon sugar and the balsamic vinegar.
- Let it simmer on medium low heat until it creates a juicy reduction, stirring from time to time.
- After 10 to 15 minutes, take it off the stove and let it cool completely.
- Blend the caramelized Balsamic strawberries with a bit of milk. I am using oat milk. This makes enough dipping juice for 4 tiramisu jars, so feel free to blend only half or blend it and use it to top your morning granola and yogurt bowls.
- Mix the ricotta with the rest of the sugar, and add some vanilla essence.
- Add the other half of the strawberries you chopped to the ricotta mix.
- Cut 6 strawberries into half and set aside. Leave 2 strawberries hole for topping.
- You can now start putting together the strawberry tiramisu:First dip your lady fingers in the strawberry reduction you blended, just calculate the quantity per layer depending on the size of the jar or casserole you are making the tiramisu in. Layer them at the bottom of your jar.
- Add the strawberries you sliced in half on the sides of the jar after you layer the lady fingers, so they can hold against the biscuits.PS: This is just for aesthetics, so feel free to skip this step.
- Add a layer of the ricotta mix you prepared.
- Repeat with one more layer of dipped lady fingers and ricotta.
- Insert the bigger strawberries slices on top of the ricotta layer.
- Chop your roasted almonds, and sprinkle those on top.
- Drizzle some of that balsamic strawberry reduction on top, and dig in!
- Optional: If you love chocolate and want to incorporate it in this recipe, you could add some chocolate chips to the ricotta mix, or as a topping.
Notes
If you want to cut the calories to 400 or even less, use a low fat ricotta (Galbani has one) or a low fat Greek Yogurt.
If you are vegan, I love making my vegan tiramisu with Alpro Greek-style yogurt. Check out this healthy yogurt tiramisu recipe - Healthy Tiramisu with Yogurt – Belmorso Italian Gourmet
