For the topping, I went an extra step and made strawberries dipped in chocolate ganache sauce.
this gluten-free strawberry tiramisu recipe is super easy!
I promise you that anyone can make this dessert. This Italian inspired dessert is all about mixing and layering. There is nothing to it, and you will get exceptional results every time.
To keep this gluten-free dessert simple, you can buy gluten-free ladyfingers. If you have time, I recommend making them from scratch. Please see the gluten-free ladyfingers recipe below.
the recipe details
First, half of the strawberries are chopped and mixed with strawberry preserve and alcohol. If you want to skip the alcohol, you can replace it with orange juice. For extra special occasions like Valentine’s, I like to add Rum or Cointreaufor an exotic flavour. Be sure to buy the gluten-free version.
make the cream layer
The mascarpone cheese mixture is made super simple without added eggs. The classic tiramisu recipe has egg yolks, which have to be cooked before adding them to the mascarpone cheese. In this recipe, I skipped the eggs keeping the mascarpone layer light. I did add a couple of tablespoons of alcohol, but you can replace it with additional 1/2 a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
Once the strawberry mixture and the mascarpone cream is ready, all you have to do is start layering.
Somewhere in between, I added some more fresh strawberries, giving this gluten-free tiramisu fresh strawberry flavour – this dessert is sooo good!
topping for gluten free strawberry tiramisu
There are a couple of options here. The simplest option is sliced strawberries. However, if you want to impress someone, top this heavenly gluten-free tiramisu cake with chocolate ganache strawberries. YUM.
make the strawberries with ganache
For the chocolate ganache dipped strawberries, I know it is an extra step…but well worth it. The chocolate ganache sauce takes about 4 minutes to make.
The thing to remember when making strawberries dipped in chocolate is, the strawberries must be dry. If they are wet, the chocolate sauce doesn’t stick to the strawberries very well.
Whether you are celebrating Valentine’s or another special occasion, I promise you will not be disappointed with this gluten-free strawberry tiramisu dessert. Enjoy!
Sift together almond flour, rice flour, baking powder, tapioca starch and salt
Add one tablespoon of sugar in the egg whites and beat until stiff peaks form
Add the balance of sugar and vanilla into egg yolks and beat until creamy
Gently fold egg whites in the egg yolks, and then fold in the dry ingredients
Transfer the batter into a pastry bag, or a plastic ziploc with the end snipped off.
Pipe the batter on a greased cookie sheet or cookie sheet lined with parchment paper in the form of ladyfingers. But don’t worry too much about the shape. They are used as a layer.
Bake for 8 minutes, then cool for 5 minutes before transferring on a cooling rack to fully cool

Stana, if you are referring to the lady fingers, the size doesn’t matter. You can always cut them to fit the pan.
Stana
