STRAWBERRY TIRAMISU Recipe

January 25, 2021 by Samantha 1 Comment

Serves 8

Ingredients:
For the cream:
500g mascarpone cheese, room temperature
500ml heavy cream
5 egg yolks
3/4 cups granulated sugar

For the strawberries:
2 1/2 cups of strawberries, chopped
1/3 cup Alchermes liqueur,* Fragfoli wild strawberry liqueur or Chambord
1 tablespoon sugar
2-3 tablespoons rum
1 cup orange juice

1 box dry ladyfingers (Pavesini brand preferred**)

Put the strawberries, Alchermes liquor, sugar, rum, and orange juice in a bowl. Set aside. With a hand mixer or a KitchenAid standing mixer, beat the egg yolks, sugar, mascarpone, and heavy cream on medium speed for 5-10 minutes, until creamy.

In a small bowl, strain the strawberries and keep the juice in a separate bowl. Dip the ladyfingers in the juice (a quick dip, you don’t want them to be soggy), and arrange cookies on bottom of a baking dish.

Cover with half the cream mixture, then cover with the chopped strawberries, repeat cookies for another layer, and cover with remaining cream mixture.

Decorate it top with strawberries just before serving and dust with powdered sugar. Chill for 2-3 hours before serving. It can stay chilled for up to 2 days.

* Alchermes is a scarlet colored Italian liqueur made by infusing neutral spirits with sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and vanilla, and other herbs, and Kermes, a small parasitic insect.

** Pavesini ladyfingers may be difficult to find in stores. However, they are readily available online. Other brands may be substituted.

Delicious Brownie Dessert

August 5, 2015 by Danielle 5 Comments

Who doesn’t love a yummy ooey gooey chocolate dessert on a hot summer day? I am a huge fan of anything chocolate and couldn’t wait to get my hands on this amazing dessert. I have made a few variations of this dessert a few times this summer, but I think that this variation is my absolute favorite. Get a big glass of milk ready for yourself as you prepare this dessert!

Here’s what you need:

9 x 13 brownie mix
8oz. cream cheese
1 Cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
8 0z. heavy whipping cream
butterfinger for crushed topping

(I so forgot to put the cream cheese in the picture)

Make Brownies as directed on the box
Let brownies cool completely
While brownies are cooling mix together all ingredients until they are well blended.
Spread the mixture onto the pan of brownies
Crush up the butterfingers and then sprinkle on the top of the mixture and brownies
Put brownies in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving.

My girls really enjoyed crushing up the butterfingers together!

I would say that these brownies are absolutely amazing and my two little helpers would most definitely agree. I love a cool dessert, especially in the summer. I have made these for a few barbecues and summer outings that we have had and I will tell you that I always have to leave the recipe with them when I leave because they are just truly that good.

If you wanted to use a different candy topping heath or even Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups would be a great topping for this amazing dessert.

Please let me know what your thoughts are on this amazing dessert and what topping you choose for your family.
