Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, trimmed and cut into thin slices
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
- 1 cup heavy cream (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 drops pink food coloring
- 1 package lady fingers
- 1/2 cup orange juice, for dipping
Instructions
- Divide the strawberries in half. Sprinkle sugar over one portion, gently toss, and let them sit for about 10 minutes until they release their juices.
- Set aside the remaining fresh strawberries for the top layer.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Add in pink food coloring.
- Slowly fold in the heavy cream, stirring gently until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Avoid overmixing to keep it smooth.
- Place a layer of ladyfingers, briefly dipped in orange juice or strawberry syrup, along the bottom of your dish.
- Spoon and evenly spread a portion of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Scatter the sugared strawberries over the mascarpone layer.
- Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the strawberries.
- Cover them with the remaining mascarpone mixture, smoothing it out for an even finish. Do not add strawberries to this top layer.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the dessert to set and the flavors to blend.
- Just before serving, garnish the top with the reserved fresh strawberry slices for a bright and colorful presentation.
