No-Coffee Strawberry Tiramisu with Fresh Berries
Strawberry tiramisu skips the coffee and leans into fresh berries, creamy mascarpone, and jam-soaked ladyfingers for a no-bake dessert that’s light, not heavy. It takes just 30 minutes to assemble, then chills overnight into something that tastes even better the next day.

Ingredients
Strawberry Layer:
- 1 lb strawberries sliced
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cointreau substitute orange juice
Jam Layer:
- 1 cup strawberry jam
- ¼ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
Cream Layer:
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese room temp
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 24 crisp ladyfingers 7 ounces
Instructions
Strawberries:
- Place sliced strawberries in a bowl and add powdered sugar and Cointreau. Gently mix and set aside.
Jam Layer:
- In a bowl that is big enough to dip a lady finger, combine the jam with orange zest and juice. Set aside
Cream Layer:
- In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone and orange zest.
- In another large mixing bowl, or bowl of a stand mixer, add the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla and beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Fold a third of the whipped cream into the mascarpone and once combined fold in the remaining whipped cream.
Assemble:
- Completely coat the lady fingers in the jam mixture and arrange in the bottom of a 8 x 8 pan in a single layer. Add a little more jam to the top, reserving half of the jam for the second layer. Next spread half of the whipped cream layer on top and add a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat with the lady fingers and cream. Reserve the sliced strawberries until ready to serve. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. Before serving, top with the remaining sliced strawberries.
Notes
- You can use orange juice instead of liqueur.
- If you want it more boozy, add some to the jam mixture instead of orange juice.
- Make sure you use hard and not soft ladyfingers.
