Florida Pearl® strawberry tiramisu
6
Easy
20 minutes, plus 12–24 hours’ chilling time 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 in tiramisu to make a gloriously light and decadent dessert.
