1. Cut off the tops of the strawberries and slice the strawberries. Reserve 2 large whole strawberries for decoration.
2. In a blender, place 2 cups sliced strawberries and 2 tablespoons sugar; blend to puree and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup cream, 1/4 cup sugar, and liqueur; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until thickened.
4. Place 6 biscuits on a serving plate and brush each with approximately 1 teaspoon cold espresso coffee. Spread or pipe out 1/2 of the cheese mixture over the sponge fingers, and layer with half of the sliced strawberries.
5. Repeat with the next 6 sponge fingers, espresso, remaining cheese mixture, and sliced strawberries; top with remaining 6 sponge fingers.
6. In a small mixing bowl, combine remaining cream with 2 tablespoons sugar; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed to soft peaks, approximately 1 minute. Spread cream evenly over top layer of ladyfingers.
7. Dust over cocoa and decorate with 2 reserved strawberries. Chill until required.
8. Pour strawberry puree onto two serving plates. Cut tiramisu in half, and place onto puree.
