Cooking Instructions

 

  1. Make the Strawberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Mash the strawberries with a fork to create a chunky sauce.7 Let it cool completely.

     

     

  2. Make the Mascarpone Cream: In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the chilled mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overmix!

  3. Assemble the Cups: Break the ladyfingers into pieces to fit the bottom of your dessert cups.8 Quickly dip each piece into the cooled strawberry syrup, making sure not to over-soak them.9

     
     

     

  4. Layer: Place a layer of the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of each cup.10 Top with a generous dollop of the mascarpone cream. Add a layer of the cooked strawberry sauce.11

     
     

     

  5. Repeat: Repeat the layers, finishing with the mascarpone cream on top.12

     

     

  6. Chill: Garnish with fresh strawberry slices.13 Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the ladyfingers to soften and the flavors to meld.14
