Preparation

Low

For the ladyfingers, in a bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla essence until they change color. Add the egg whites to the yolks and, using a sifter, add the flour; fold it in gently. Place it in a pastry bag with a plain tip. Shape the ladyfingers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 190 °C for 15 minutes. Let cool and set aside. In a bowl, macerate the strawberries with Licor 43 for 30 minutes. Set aside. Using a whisk, beat the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, sour cream, and lemon zest until combined. Set aside. On a square stainless steel base, place acetate on the sides so the tiramisu doesn't stick; place the ladyfingers on the base, then add some cream and the strawberries; repeat the process until the mold is filled, finishing with cream. Freeze for 2 hours. Dust with cocoa powder and decorate with strawberries and mint.
