For strawberry liquid:
2 cups frozen or fresh strawberries, washed and leaves removed
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
For Mascarpone Whipped Cream:
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla paste
1 8oz. Mascarpone Cream
Berries:
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
6 strawberries sliced in half for topping
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup raspberries
20-25 Italian lady fingers
* You can add any of your favorite berries in the portions you love, the recipe is very flexible.
Directions:
Place the strawberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Mix well and place over medium heat until the water starts to boil and the sugar has dissolved. Mash the strawberries in the saucepan with a potato masher or a fork to release it's juice.
When the strawberry is tender, strain the juice of the strawberry in a strainer into a bowl and place the strawberry juice on the side until it cools a bit.
Place heavy whipped cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in a bowl and whip using a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer until soft peaks.
Then add the mascarpone cream and whip for 2 min. or until thick/ stiff peaks. Place aside.
Prepare, wash, and dry your fruit and get ready to assemble.
In a small deep dish or pyrex, dip a lady finger in the strawberry juice generously and place in the deep dish.
You can also place the lady fingers in the dish a pour half of the juice. But make sure you get all sides. (Note: strawberry juice isn't like coffee so you have to be generous when you dip)
Place a layer or your cream on top of the strawberry lady fingers in the deep dish, then top with a layer of fruit.
Place another layer of strawberry juice dipped lady fingers, then cream, then top with fruit and decorate.
Allow at least 6 hours for lady finger to moisten or it's even better overnight. Make sure you cover well if you will eat it the next day. Enjoy!
