    Ultimate Strawberry Shortcake Tiramisu is a fun spin on strawberry shortcake and tiramisu!  We transformed classic Italian tiramisu layered dessert and made this dish with RumChata dipped ladyfinger cookies layered with creamy, fluffy mascarpone whipped cream filling. 

    Then we sliced fresh strawberries and topped it all off with a layer of whipped cream and more strawberries for a decadent bite of strawberries and cream yumminess!

    Ultimate Strawberry Shortcake Tiramisu

    There are a lot of different variations of shortcake out there in the world and we love them all!  No snobbiness here. Join me?

    Shortcake consists of scrumptious layers of some type of cake, scone or biscuit, macerated strawberries, and homemade whipped cream or ice cream.

    Ultimate Strawberry Shortcake Tiramisu

    For out Strawberry Shortcake Tiramisu, we decided to go the tiramisu route using lady finger biscuits. 

    Tiramisu makes a fantastic finale to any meal, don't you agree?  Use whatever juice, liquor, syrup or milk you wish when basting the biscuits.  Give RumChata a try if you're wanting a rum soaked cake.  Delicious right? 🙂

    As said, we are using ladyfingers for the base, but you could substitute Old-Fashioned Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Pound Cake or buy an already prepared angel food cake.  Of course, there is the option you can layer this with graham crackers too.  Just omit the dipping process, if you switch it up.

    Ingredients
      

    INGREDIENTS for layers:

    • 12-15 ladyfingers
    • 8 oz mascarpone cheese softened
    • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¼ cup powdered sugar
    • ⅓ cup RumChata or orange juice lemonade or milk or any kind of liqueur or juice you want to use (can also use strawberry or flavored syrups) Just need something wet for it to soak through the cake. The biscuits should be hard, not soft when starting or they end up mushy, unless you are eating right away.
    • 2 ½ cups fresh strawberries sliced

    Finishing Layer:

    • 1 cup or 4 oz. cool whip or ½ cup whipping cream + 2 tablespoons powdered sugar whipped to make whipped cream
    • 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced

    Instructions
     

    INGREDIENTS for layers:

    • In a large mixing bowl, using a mixer, beat heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
    • Add in the softened mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until stiff, set aside
    • Line the ladyfingers in a single layer, in the bottom of 8x8 baking dish
    • Quickly dip or generously brush half of the ladyfingers with half of the RumChata, juice or milk.
    • Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers and layer with half of the sliced strawberries
    • Repeat the steps again.

    Finishing Layer:

    • Cover with cool whip and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight
    • Garnish with 1 cup sliced strawberries
    • Enjoy Summer lovin'!

    Notes

    Can substitute mascarpone for cream cheese if desired.
    To soften mascarpone or cream cheese, place in microwave for 20 seconds.  
    As said, ladyfingers for the base, but you could substitute Old-Fashioned Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Pound Cake or buy an already prepared angel food cake.  Of course, there is the option you can layer this with graham crackers too.  Just omit the dipping process, if you switch it up.

      Hi Kim, I want to try this Strawberry Shortcake Tiramisu recipe. I like to seek your advice is the finishing layer of cool whip a must OR I can skip it since there's already mascarpone cheese over it?

        You can skip it if you want, but the whipped cream just makes it taste lighter. Either way it will be good Evelyn! 🙂
