Creamy mascarpone, fresh strawberries, and soaked ladyfingers layered for a sweet, citrus-kissed dessert.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

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.

# Notes:

01 - Allowing the dessert to chill overnight enhances the flavor and texture.
