1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 package ladyfingers
Optional: strawberry juice or orange liqueur for brushing
Optional: mint leaves or cocoa powder for garnish

Instructions

Wash and slice strawberries.
In a bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold in mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
Line a dish with ladyfingers. Lightly brush with strawberry juice or orange liqueur if desired.

Let it chill overnight for deeper flavor. For clean slices, dip your knife in hot water. Serve with ice cream, garnish with pistachios or edible flowers for extra flair. Do not freeze as it alters texture.
