🔹 Step 1: Prep the Strawberries
In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
Let sit for 10–15 minutes until they become syrupy. Set aside.
🔹 Step 2: Make the Cream Layer
In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
In a separate bowl, gently mix mascarpone until smooth (do not overmix).
Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until fully combined and fluffy.
🔹 Step 3: Assemble
Dip ladyfingers quickly in the strawberry syrup (just a second—don’t soak).
Layer the bottom of a dish (8x8 inch works well) with dipped ladyfingers.
Spread half the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
Add a layer of sliced strawberries (and optional spoonfuls of strawberry jam).
Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, remaining cream, and top with strawberries.
🔹 Step 4: Chill
Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is best) to let flavors meld and layers set.
✅ Optional Finishes
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Garnish with mint leaves or grated white chocolate.
