Chocolate Ganache Dipped Strawberries
The chocolate ganache dipped strawberries are an extra step, but well worth it. The ganache takes only about 4 minutes to make and adds a rich chocolate finish.
Be sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping, otherwise the ganache won’t stick.
Perfect for Valentine’s Day Dessert or any special occasion, this gluten-free strawberry tiramisu is always a show-stopping sweet finish. Enjoy!
Serving Ideas for Gluten-Free Strawberry Tiramisu
Serve this gluten-free strawberry tiramisu chilled, garnished with fresh strawberries and a light dusting of powdered sugar for a classic finish.
For a festive touch, add a few mint leaves or chocolate curls on top. It’s also lovely presented in individual glasses for parties or showers, and pairs beautifully with sparkling wine or a dessert wine for special occasions.
Can I use frozen strawberries? Fresh strawberries are best. Frozen berries release too much liquid and can make the dessert soggy. I don’t recommend it.
Can I make this dairy-free? Yes, use dairy-free mascarpone and coconut or almond whipped cream.
How long does strawberry tiramisu need to chill? At least 6 hours, but overnight gives the best texture and flavor.
Can I make it in advance for a party? Absolutely, it’s one of the best make-ahead desserts. Be sure to keep it in an air-tight container and refrigerated.

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