- 1/3 cup Icing sugar
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla bean paste
Others

Instructions
- Prepare dessert glasses: Keep 8 dessert glasses or bowls ready to assemble the tiramisu.
- Make the strawberry puree: Combine the strawberries, sugar, and water in a blender. Blend until smooth to form the puree. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Make the mascarpone mixture: In a bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, cream, icing sugar, and vanilla bean paste. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy.
- Assemble the tiramisu – first layer: Dip a ladyfinger cookie into the strawberry puree briefly to soak. Place it at the bottom of each glass, breaking cookies if needed to fit.
- Add puree and mascarpone: Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of strawberry puree over the soaked cookie layer, then add a heaped tablespoon of the mascarpone mixture on top.
- Assemble the tiramisu – second layer: Repeat by adding another layer of dipped ladyfinger cookies, followed by strawberry puree and mascarpone mixture. Add a little puree on top of the final mascarpone layer.
- Repeat for all glasses: Continue layering in this order until all glasses are filled.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisus for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, top each glass with fresh strawberries and chocolate shavings for garnish. Enjoy your refreshing strawberry tiramisu!
