An easy-peasy Christmas recipe of strawberry tiramisu

Shivesh Bhatia creates a unique rendition of a classic dessert

Tiramisu is a dessert that oozes luxury and decadence, but this festive season Shivesh Bhatia has taken it up a notch. To stay on theme with the holiday cheer, he has created a strawberry rendition of this classic dessert. He mixes mascarpone cheese, whipped cream and sugar to create the base of the dessert and adds in some strawberry puree. Not only does this add a fruity freshness to the dessert but also lends it a blush pink colour. You can use store-bought strawberry puree, but if you’re feeling fancy, we recommend whipping up your own batch by simmering fresh strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and a dash of water. 

He goes on to dip ladyfinger biscuits in strawberry milk — you can make your own by adding some strawberry puree to warm milk — and layering the dessert with the filling. Decorate it with fresh strawberries and you’ve got yourself the centrepiece for all your festive dinner parties!
