Ingredients with Measurements

500 g mascarpone
200 g ladyfingers (sponge fingers)
400 ml whipped cream
2 packages cream stabilizer
3 packages vanilla sugar
8 Raffaello chocolates (for the cream)
Fresh strawberries (for cream and decoration)
Milk (for dipping the ladyfingers)
Desiccated coconut (for topping)

Step-by-Step Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone, whipped cream, vanilla sugar, and cream stabilizer. Beat until stiff peaks form. The mixture should be smooth, thick, and airy.
Wash and slice the strawberries into small pieces. Roughly crush the Raffaello chocolates to keep some texture.
Gently fold the strawberries and crushed Raffaello into the cream mixture using a spatula.
Pour milk into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the milk—just enough to moisten without soaking.
Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish.
Spread a generous layer of the cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
Repeat the layering process with another layer of ladyfingers followed by the remaining cream.
Smooth the top layer evenly for a clean finish.
Sprinkle desiccated coconut over the top for a signature Raffaello touch.
Decorate with fresh strawberries and extra Raffaello pieces if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the dessert to set and flavors to develop.
