Ingredients
  

Mascarpone Cream
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream cold
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Strawberry Layer
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
Assembly
  • 20 ladyfinger cookies store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam warmed slightly

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand Mixer or Whisk
  • 8x8-inch Baking Dish

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, toss sliced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for 10–15 minutes until juicy.
  2. In another bowl, beat mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Spread a thin layer of mascarpone cream on the bottom of an 8x8-inch dish.
  4. Dip ladyfingers lightly into the strawberry syrup or jam mixture and arrange in a single layer over the cream.
  5. Spread half of the remaining mascarpone cream, then layer half of the strawberries on top. Repeat layers once more.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Garnish with extra strawberries before serving. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

For a sweeter variation, add a drizzle of strawberry liqueur to the berries. Use soft ladyfingers for easier layering and a creamier texture.
