Equipment

  • Digital kitchen scale
  • Stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or hand mixer and a large mixing bowl
  • Saucepan
  • 8" by 8" (20cm by 20cm) brownie pan

Ingredients

  • 20-26 ladyfingers store-bought or homemade (I used 22 store-bought ladyfingers)

Syrup

  • 200 ml water
  • 100 g white granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberry powder store-bought or made by pulsing freeze-dried strawberries in a blender or a food processor
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Cream

  • 250 g mascarpone cheese cold
  • 360 g heavy whipping cream cold
  • 75 g powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberry powder store-bought or made by pulsing freeze-dried strawberries in a blender or a food processor
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Fresh strawberries for topping sliced

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, add all syrup ingredients. Heat over medium heat until simmering and the sugar has dissolved. Pour the syrup through a sieve into a bowl to cool down.
  • In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment (or you can use a hand mixer and a large bowl), beat the heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, freeze-dried strawberry powder, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful to not overwhip the cream!
  • Dip each ladyfinger in the cooled syrup for a few seconds, making sure they are completely coated but not soggy.
  • Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8x8-inch dish (20x20 cm).
  • Spread half of the cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
  • Repeat the process with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining cream mixture.
  • Cover the top of the dish with plastic wrap or a large plate and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
  • Just before serving, decorate the top with thinly-sliced, fresh strawberries. Cut into 9 squares and serve.
