Prepare the Strawberry Mixture

  • Combine diced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes until juicy.Tip: Macerating the strawberries enhances their natural sweetness and creates a syrupy consistency.

  • Spoon a layer of mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
  • Add a layer of strawberry mixture and a drizzle of strawberry preserves.
  • Repeat layers until the glass is full, finishing with mascarpone cream on top.
