Method

  • step 1

    Place the biscotti biscuits in a plastic bag and crush them lightly with the end of a rolling pin, leaving them slightly chunky. Tip the crushed biscuits into a bowl, drizzle over the Vin Santo and give it a stir. In small bowl, use a fork to slightly mash half of the strawberries with the sugar.

  • step 2

    Whip the mascarpone in a medium bowl, then fold into the whipped cream. If the mixture appears too thick fold through a little milk. In a 1-litre glass bowl, spread half of the soaked biscotti. Top with half of the mashed strawberries and then half of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat until you have used up everything. Slice the remaining strawberries and scatter over the top. Refrigerate, then pack into a cooler as this dessert should be served chilled.

I used amaretti biscuits and limoncello and more strawberries than the recipe states. It was delicious and very popular at a tennis club barbecue. I was asked what the 'toffee' layer was - the biscuits did resemble that consistency. Definitely one to do again for a crowd.

Fantastic recipe - everyone loves it and asks for the recipe. Double up on the strawberries but don't be tempted to put extra wine in as it makes it too runny.

Beautiful recipe, I use amaretti biscuits instead and just good quality desert wine. I also double up on the strawberries. Also - don't cut corners with the strawberries by using a blender! I tried and it resulted in a runny mess that wasn't nearly as good as the recipe is when followed properly.

Boring and disappointing for the lovely ingredients used. Not a patch on Tiramusu was looking for a nice alternative to the only Italian pud in my repetoire. Won't be bothering again.

Lacked body & bite for my taste. All a bt of a soggy mish-mash. However nice flavours. Would improve with more substantial biscuits or less liquid, perhaps straining the crushed srawberries or reducing the volume of dessert wine.
