Ingredients
 

  • 500 g frozen sliced strawberries
  • 1/4 cup sweetener of choice
  • Juice of 1/2 small lemon
  • 10 g freeze dried strawberries
  • 300 g reduced fat ricotta
  • 135 g large sponge finger biscuits see notes
  • 150 g plain 99% fat free yoghurt
  • 1 1/2 sachets of diet strawberry jelly
  • 350-400 g fresh strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Place frozen strawberries , lemon and sweetener in a saucepan over medium high heat uncovered and cook until reduced into a semi thick consistency- you’re looking for a jam texture.
    Once thickened, set aside to cool.
  • Place the ricotta in a food processor and pulse to break up the large chunks. Add yoghurt and process until smooth.
  • In a small bowl, Mix 1 sachet of strawberry jelly with 1 tbls hot water , stir until dissolved then add 3 tbls cold water. Pour into the Ricotta/Yoghurt mix and process until well combined.
  • Spoon 1/2 the ricotta mixture in the bottom of a 6 cup 1.5lt rectangle glass Pyrex dish - or any dish of that size.
  • In a shallow bowl, add 1/2 sachet of jelly crystals to 1 cup warm water.
  • Dip each sponge finger into the warm jelly mix, and layer into the dish over the ricotta mixture.
  • Spoon the cooled strawberry puree over the soaked biscuits, & spread out evenly.
  • Add fresh sliced strawberries in a single layer , then top with the other half of the ricotta mix.
  • Place the freeze dried strawberries into a blender, grinder or mini food processor and pulverise. Sprinkle over the top of the tiramisu - (easiest way is to use a sieve) the freeze dried addition, enhances the strawberry flavour.
  • Decorate with fresh strawberries, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to soften the biscuits.

Notes

Sponge finger biscuits are also called lady fingers or in Italian Savoiardi biscuits.
I bought mine from Coles, the large size works best, but use what’s available.
I used Coles brand frozen strawberries, and freeze dried strawberries also purchased at Coles.
