Ingredients

For the strawberry sauce:

400 g strawberries plus extra for decoration
60 g sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice

For the biscuits:

200 g Savoiardi ladyfingers

For the cream:

400 g mascarpone cheese
350 ml heavy cream 33-35% fat
130 g powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and blend them into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor.
Transfer the puree to a saucepan, add sugar and lemon juice, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then let cool completely.
For the cream, combine cold mascarpone and cold heavy cream. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat with a mixer until fluffy. The mixture will be liquid at first but will thicken and become airy as you beat it.
Dip the biscuits in the cooled strawberry sauce and place them in a single layer in a 25×20 cm / 10×8 inch baking dish.
Spread a layer of cream over the biscuits, then add another layer of soaked savoiardi.
Finish with a thin layer of cream on top. Use a piping bag to decorate with the remaining cream.
Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Decorate with fresh strawberries and serve.
