How to choose good strawberries
- Choose large, bright red, juicy strawberries that are still attached to the stem and have fresh green leaves.
- Do not choose overripe strawberries as the inside may be dry and hollow.
- Avoid choosing dull-colored, misshapen, or rotten strawberries. Additionally, those with green skin and many spots should not be purchased as strawberries will not ripen after being picked.
- If using strawberries on the same day, you can keep them at room temperature. Or if you want to store them longer for 5 – 7 days, you should wrap the strawberries in paper towels and place them in the refrigerator’s vegetable drawer.
Distinguishing between whipping and heavy cream
- Fat content: Heavy cream is a rich cream with a fat content of 36 – 40%, while Whipping cream is known as a type of fresh cream with a fat content of 30 – 36% and does not contain sugar.
- Texture: Heavy cream will have a firmer whipped texture than Whipping cream.
- Heavy cream is used more in making whipped cream, baking, etc., while Whipping cream is often used for mixing drinks or as an ingredient in some types of desserts.

How to make Strawberry Tiramisu
-
Whip the egg whites
Put 1 egg white into a bowl, use an egg beater at low speed until the egg forms bubbles like soap.
Divide 30g of sugar into 3 parts, gradually add each part one at a time and beat until dissolved. Beat each portion of sugar for about 30 seconds at low speed before adding the next portion.
When adding the last portion of sugar to the egg, turn the mixer to high speed, beat the egg until it is soft, has cream waves, and the mixture is sticky, glossy, and smooth. Lift the whisk to form stiff peaks that bend downwards when lifted.
Note:
- Divide the sugar into 2 or 3 parts and add it gradually. Avoid adding it all at once.
- The egg whites should be at room temperature before whipping.
Next, add 1 egg yolk to the whipped egg mixture and use a flat whisk to gently fold the mixture from the bottom up. Bring the whisk down to the bottom of the bowl, push the heavier ingredients up, and fold them to one side. Continue this process until the mixture becomes smooth.
-
Mix the cake batter
Sift 30g of flour into the egg bowl and then gently fold to combine.
After that, transfer the batter mixture into a piping bag.
-
Shaping and Baking
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
Prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper, then squeeze the dough into pieces about 7cm long.
Next, sprinkle a layer of powdered sugar on top and bake for 8 – 10 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
-
Making Strawberry Jam
Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and cut them into quarters.
Add the prepared strawberries, 25g of sugar, 5ml of lemon juice, and 10ml of water into a pot, then mix well.
Place the pot on the stove and stir the strawberries over medium heat until they become soft.

Making tiramisu ice cream
Finely mash 250g of mascarpone cheese, then add 30g of condensed milk, 5ml of lemon juice, and mix well.
In a new bowl, add 200ml of heavy cream, 20g of sugar, then place this bowl over a bowl of ice water. Whip the mixture with a hand mixer until the cream is soft and fluffy, achieving a thick, smooth consistency; when lifting the whisk, it should form stiff peaks that slightly bend downwards.
Next, divide the whipped cream mixture into 2 parts, add each part to the cheese bowl, and use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together.

Pouring the strawberry tiramisu into a mold
First, layer the biscuits in the mold, add a layer of strawberry jam on top, and then cover with a layer of cheese cream.
Repeat this layering one more time, place the cake in the refrigerator for 2 hours, and it’s done.
