Prepare the strawberries
First, wash the strawberries well and cut them into pieces.
Place them in a bowl and add:
the sugar
the lemon juice
Mix well and let them macerate for a few minutes so they release their natural juice.
Make the cream
Take the strawberries (about 1 1/2 cups), wash and hull them, then chop them finely.
In a bowl put the mascarpone and the sugar and start mixing with a whisk.
Add the heavy cream and whip until you obtain a soft, thick cream.
Finally add the chopped strawberries and fold in gently.
Prepare the soaking liquid
Take the strawberries left to macerate and strain them, separating the juice.
Let them drain well.
If the obtained juice is little, dilute it with a little water.
Assemble the tiramisu
Soak the ladyfingers in the strawberry juice.
Arrange them in a row at the bottom of the baking dish.
Using a piping bag add a layer of cream.
Spread some of the macerated strawberries on top.
Second layer
Add a second layer of soaked ladyfingers.
Cover with another layer of cream.
Decoration
Finally decorate with strawberries as desired.
Put the tiramisu in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
