By AzWench

Do you like strawberry shortcake? Then you’re going to love this Italian version made with creamy, mascarpone cheese.

Ingredients

• 24 lady fingers
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 3 cups strawberries, sliced
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 cup mascarpone

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare strawberry sauce, by heating 1 cup sliced strawberries over medium heat with 1/4 cup of water.

When mixture begins to boil, add 1/4 cup sugar and let simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Take off heat and use a food processor or blender to blend to a liquid. Set strawberry sauce aside.

Whip the cream together with the sugar until it forms soft peaks.

Mix the whipped cream together with the mascarpone until you have a smooth mixture.

Mix the orange juice with the strawberry sauce and dip the ladyfingers in the mixture.

Make a layer of the ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving bowl and add a layer of the mascarpone/cream mixture, repeat ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.

Leave to stand in the fridge for 2 to 4 hours before putting on the last layer of strawberries and serve immediately.
