Strawberry Tiramisu


Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup strawberry preserves
1/3 cup plus 4 Tbsp orange liqueur, divided
1/3 cup orange juice
1 pound mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese)
1 1/3 cup chilled whipping cream
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 pounds fresh strawberries
52 crisp ladyfingers

Whisk preserves, 1/3 cup liqueur, and orange juice in a measuring cup. Place mascarpone and 2 Tbsp liqueur in large bowl; fold just to blend. Using electric mixer, beat cream, sugar, vanilla, and remaining 2 Tbsp liqueur in another large bowl to soft peaks. Stir 1/4 of whipped cream mixture into mascarpone mixture to lighten. Fold in remaining whipped cream.

Hull and slice half of strawberries. Spread 1/2 cup preserve mixture over bottom of 3 quart oblong serving dish or 13x9x2" glass baking dish. Arrange enough ladyfingers over preserve mixture to cover bottom of dish. Spoon 3/4 cup preserve mixture over ladyfingers, then spread 2 1/2 cups mascarpone mixture over. Arrange sliced strawberries over mascarpone mixture. Repeat layering with remaining ladyfingers, preserve mixture, and mascarpone mixture. Cover with plastic and chill at least 8 hours or overnight. Slice remaining strawberries and arrange over tiramisu and serve.
