Instead of biscuits or shortbread, this sweet concoction uses packaged ladyfingers, which give it a light texture that's good on blazing days. Individual desserts are easy to serve—no cutting or scooping—and easy to eat. (They'll disappear in a flash!) Ingredients:
1 pint strawberries, sliced |
1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur or 1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
1/2 cup sugar, divided |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
1 (8-ounce) container mascarpone cheese or cream cheese, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 (3- or 3.4-ounce) package ladyfingers |
Directions:
1. Combine strawberries, amaretto, and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl. Let stand about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and whipping cream in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold in mascarpone cheese and vanilla.
3. Layer ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and strawberry mixture in 6 (9-ounce) bowls.
