Strawberry Tiramisu

Description

A couple of weeks ago I was in Brooklyn at the Sunday Suppers loft for a food + style photography workshop with Bea from La Tartine Gourmande.

You can read my story about that here.

As part of the workshop we made and assembled individual strawberry tiramisu cups. Layers of tasty perfection topped with crushed pistachios.

These are the pictures I took during the workshop playing around with light, props and fabrics.

    What a lovely idea! I had never thought of tiramisu except in its coffee form, and this sounds like a great way to use up those summer berries–almost more like a trifle than a tiramisu. Thanks for sharing!

      @Susan yes I am using raw eggs separated. The yolks go into the mascarpone and the whites are whipped to stiff peaks and added to the mascarpone as well.
