Ingredients
Method
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
- Whisk the egg yolks with sugar and vanilla sugar until pale and creamy.
- Add mascarpone and mix until smooth and homogeneous.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the mascarpone mixture.
- Wash, hull, and cut the strawberries into pieces. Set aside some slices for decoration.
- Quickly dip the ladyfinger biscuits into the orange juice or syrup.
- Arrange a layer of soaked biscuits at the bottom of a dish.
- Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the biscuits.
- Add a layer of strawberry pieces.
- Repeat the layers once more and finish with cream and decorative strawberries.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 to 6 hours (preferably overnight) before serving.
Notes
Do not soak the biscuits too long to avoid a soggy texture. Use very cold mascarpone for a firmer cream. For an egg-free version, replace eggs with whipped cream for a lighter alternative.
