How to make tiramisu

Wash the fresh strawberries, remove the green leaves and then cut them into small pieces. Place them in a pan with the granulated sugar (part 1) and the lemon juice, and bring the mixture to the boil briefly.

Let the compote simmer briefly over a low heat until the strawberries soften slightly and the juice is released. Then strain off this juice using a sieve and collect the strawberry compote. Place both the juice and the compote in the fridge to allow them to cool down a little. In the meantime, you can get started on making the mascarpone cream.

Beat theegg whitesina bowl with the granulated sugar (part 2) until you have a lovely, stiff mixture. Set this aside briefly, then beat the egg yolkswith the elderflower syrup until the mixture becomes frothy and pale.

Once the egg yolks have been beaten until nice and frothy, you can now add the mascarpone. It’s best to fold this in by hand using a whisk; this keeps the mixture a bit firmer than if you were to mix it in with a mixer. Finally, fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites using a rubber spatula.

Ingredients for tiramisu

Now line your baking dish with the sponge fingers andbrushthem with the elderflower syrup (Part 2). Then soak the sponge fingers with 150 g of the strawberry juice you set aside earlier.

Next, spread the strawberry compote over the soaked biscuits, then spoon the mascarpone mixture on top. Cover the tiramisu with cling film and leave it to infuse fully overnight.

Slice the strawberries thinly and decorate the finished tiramisu with the strawberry slices and fresh elderflowers.
