Ingredients

For the strawberry syrup/juice

  • 6 oz strawberries 170g
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • For rest of tiramisu
  • 12 ladyfinger cookies
  • 4 oz mascarpone 110g, 1/2 a standard tub
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 110g
  • 3 oz strawberries 85g, plus approx 1 more to decorate top


Instructions
For the strawberry syrup/juice (ahead of time)

  1. Roughly chop the strawberries and put in a small pan with the orange juice and sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring now and then. Simmer for a couple of minutes and mash the strawberries to a pulp. Set aside to cool then strain the mixture. You can make this ahead and store in a cool place, sealed.
  2. To make up tiramisu (at least 4 hours before needed/night before)
  3. Put the strawberry syrup/juice in a small bowl/dish that is wide enough to fit a ladyfinger cookie in it, but not much bigger. Dip 6 ladyfinger cookies, one at a time, into the strawberry liquid. Turn each so it is coated but don't leave to soak. Put them next to each other in a dish that's big enough to hold a layer of 6 cookies, but not much bigger, and around 2in/5cm deep. 
  4. Mix together the mascarpone and sugar so it's smooth and glossy. Mix in the yogurt and combine well. If you like, you can whisk it to be a bit lighter but it will taste good either way.
