Description
A refreshing and indulgent no-bake dessert featuring layers of creamy mascarpone, fresh strawberries, and coffee-soaked ladyfingers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 package ladyfinger cookies
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to keep it fluffy.
- Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee for just a second to avoid sogginess, then layer them in a dish.

- Repeat the layering process, finishing with the mascarpone mixture.
