Welcome Spring!

And to welcome the beautiful, fresh, renewing Spring I have prepared
a STRAWBERRIES TIRAMISU, my son's favorite Italian dessert.
It is full of protein (that is why it lifts you up) and vit C, so don't feel
guilty for a bit of sugar and fat....to be healthy we need a bit of everything!

Strawberries tiramisu'

Ingredients:

2 cups of washed/sliced fresh strawberries
1 lemon juice
2TBS Martini Bianco liquor
1TBS sugar
1 packet savoiardi biscuits (lady fingers)
2 eggs
2TBS sugar
200g (or 1 container) of mascarpone cheese

In a bowl, mix strawberries with lemon and sugar and marinate
for 1 hour or until you have 1 cup of juice.

For the cream.
Separate egg whites and whisk them until firm.
Beat egg yolks with sugar, then add mascarpone and whisk well until creamy.
Add egg whites little by little and mix gently them into the cream using a spatula.

Drain juice from strawberries.
Add liquor and 2 TBS of water to the juice and put it aside.
Refrigerate the strawberries.

Soak biscuits into the juice and form a biscuits layer in a small ceramic/glass baking tray.
Cover biscuits layer with half of mascarpone cream.
Add another layer of biscuits and cream.
Cover tray with cling-film or thin-foil and refrigerate until ready to serve.
When serving tiramisu', add on top the strawberries.
