01 -
14 ounces ladyfingers
02 -
1/2 cup orange juice
03 -
3/4 cup orange liqueur, divided
04 -
16 ounces mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
05 -
16 ounces heavy whipping cream, chilled
06 -
1/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
07 -
13 ounces strawberry preserves
08 -
32 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
# Steps:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, blend the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
02 -
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
03 -
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined and airy.
04 -
In a shallow dish, combine the orange juice with 1/2 cup of the orange liqueur and stir to blend.
05 -
Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the orange juice mixture, ensuring they are moistened but not saturated. Arrange a single layer of ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.
06 -
Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Evenly distribute half of the strawberry preserves, then top with half of the sliced strawberries.
07 -
Repeat with a second layer of dipped ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, strawberry preserves, and fresh strawberries.
08 -
Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup orange liqueur over the top layer. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to develop and ladyfingers to soften.
09 -
Slice portions and serve chilled.
