FLORIDA PEARL® STRAWBERRY TIRAMISU

Put a pink spin on the classic tiramisu – Florida Pearl® strawberries are back in season! These pale pink strawberries are a little softer than red strawberries, and the flavour is characterised by low acidity and a subtle pineapple aroma. Just like regular strawberries, Florida Pearl® strawberries can be eaten fresh and added to desserts and bakes. We've used them to make a gloriously light and decadent Italian tiramisu dessert.

INGREDIENTS

500 g Woolworths Florida Pearl® strawberries, plus extra, sliced, to decorate   
3 T castor sugar   
1 T lemon, juiced   
1 cup Woolworths hibiscus petal tea   
16 Boudoir biscuits   
400 g Woolworths mascarpone   
4 T Woolworths strawberry jam with extra fruit   
4 T icing sugar, plus extra for dusting   
Woolworths freeze-dried strawberries, to decorate   
handful raw shelled pistachios, chopped, to decorate

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cube the strawberries, then place into a bowl. Sprinkle with the caster sugar and lemon juice and allow to stand for 2 hours.   
2. Strain the strawberries, reserving the liquid. Mix the strained strawberry juice with the cooled tea.   
3. Dip some of the Boudoir biscuits into the strawberry-tea mixture and place into a serving dish.   
4. Beat the mascarpone, strawberry jam, and icing sugar until smooth. Spoon ⅓ of the mascarpone mixture over the dipped biscuits, then add some strawberries. Repeat this process twice more.   
5. Chill overnight. Decorate with fresh, dried strawberries, and nuts and dust with icing sugar.
