Description
A beautifully layered dessert that combines the bright flavors of fresh strawberries with the creamy richness of mascarpone and cream cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 30–35 ladyfinger cookies
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese, cold
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (for decoration)
- Extra ladyfinger cookies (if needed)
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- Place ladyfinger cookies upright around the inside edge of the pan, with the rounded ends facing up.
- Mix milk with vanilla. Quickly dip additional ladyfingers into the milk and arrange them across the bottom of the pan.
- Beat cream cheese, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
- Gently fold the diced strawberries into half of the cream mixture.
- Spread half of the strawberry cream over the ladyfinger base. Add another layer of lightly dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining strawberry cream. Finish with the reserved plain mascarpone cream and smooth the surface.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until the cake is firm enough to slice.
- Carefully remove the springform ring. Arrange fresh strawberries on top and dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.
- Slice the Strawberry Charlotte Cake with a sharp knife and enjoy!
