Strawberry Tiramisu

Submitted by Marlitt

"Another Tiramisu recipe. I decided to post it because it is a little different. Very easy and quickly put together. The majority of the time spent on this is the chilling time, but this is needed to let the flavors meld. Very light and refreshing."

This was good. I used sliced of sponge cake, because I couldn't find ladyfingers. I cut back on the Grand Marnier and orange juice, because I didn't want to soak the cake, just drizzle it. The other significant thing I did differently was to only make 1/2 the amount of mascarpone cream. I used the full amount of strawberries, but half of the mascarpone, egg, vanilla and sugar. It seemed to work out fine. In fact, I think if I used the full amount, it would have been far more than I would have liked.
