Ingredients

  • 1 cup prosecco
  • â…“ cup strawberry jam
  • 28 ladyfingers
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz. mascarpone cheese

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Add the prosecco and strawberry jam to a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.

Notes

The traditional Italian dessert often uses raw egg yolks in the mascarpone filling, which carries a small risk of salmonella. This strawberry tiramisu is completely egg-free, so it’s extra simple and safe to enjoy. The creamy mascarpone layer gets its richness from whipped cream instead.
Make this dessert vegan by swapping in coconut cream or another plant-based whipping cream and using a vegan cream cheese in place of mascarpone. Choose vegan-friendly ladyfingers or sponge cake. The result won’t taste exactly the same, but it’s still fruity and fun to serve.
