Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest from 1 medium orange
  • ¼ cup fresh squeezed orange juice from 1 medium orange
  • 1 cup strawberry jam
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar or other powdered sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 7 ounces crisp ladyfingers 24-count

Instructions

  • Hull and slice the strawberries. Zest the orange using a zester or the fine side of a cheese grater. Cut the zested orange in half and juice it.
  • Whisk the strawberry jam with the orange juice in a shallow bowl or container large enough to dip the ladyfingers. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin if the jam mixture seems too thick. Set the jam mixture aside
  • Mix mascarpone with the orange zest in a mixing bowl. Set this aside.
  • Whip the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla, in a mixing bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, until stiff peaks form. This should take 6-8 minutes but will depend on your mixer speed. Check it after 5 minutes so you don't overwhip it.
  • Gently fold ⅓ of the whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese mixture to lighten it. Then, fold in the remainder.
  • Dip the ladyfingers one or two at a time into the jam mixture. Coat all sides. Arrange ladyfingers over the bottom of an 8 x 8 inch baking dish. You may have to cut them to fit the last row. If necessary, spread a little extra jam over the layer so everything is evenly coated.
  • Spread half of the whipped cream-mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
  • Place a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the cream.
  • Repeat layering with remaining ladyfingers, preserve mixture and whipped cream mixture.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight to let ladyfingers soften.
  • When ready to serve, add the remaining sliced strawberries on top.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
