Ingredients

Strawberry Layer:

  • 1 lb strawberries sliced
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Cointreau substitute orange juice

Jam Layer:

  • 1 cup strawberry jam
  • ¼ cup fresh squeezed orange juice

Cream Layer:

  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese room temp
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 24 crisp ladyfingers 7 ounces

Instructions

Strawberries:

  • Place sliced strawberries in a bowl and add powdered sugar and Contreau. Gently mix and set aside.

Jam Layer:

  • In a bowl that is big enough to dip a lady finger, combine the jam with orange zest and juice. Set aside

Cream Layer:

  • In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone and orange zest.
  • In another large mixing bowl, or bowl of a stand mixer, add the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla and beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Fold a third of the whipped cream into the mascarpone and once combined fold in the remaining whipped cream.

Assemble:

  • Completely coat the lady fingers in the jam mixture and arrange in the bottom of a 8 x 8 pan in a single layer. Add a little more jam to the top, reserving half of the jam for the second layer. Next spread half of the whipped cream layer on top and add a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat with the lady fingers and cream. Reserve the sliced strawberries until ready to serve. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. Before serving, top with the remaining sliced strawberries.

Notes

  • You can use orange juice instead of liqueur.
  • If you want it more boozy, add some to the jam mixture instead of orange juice.
  • Make sure you use hard and not soft ladyfingers.
