Ingredients with Measurements

500 g mascarpone
400 ml whipped cream
2 packages cream stabilizer
2 packages vanilla sugar
300 g fresh strawberries
1 package sponge fingers (ladyfingers)
Milk (for dipping)
Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Step-by-Step Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone, whipped cream, cream stabilizer, and vanilla sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy. The texture should be thick but airy.
Wash and chop the strawberries into small pieces. Gently fold them into the cream mixture using a spatula to keep the mixture light.
Pour milk into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each sponge finger into the milk—do not soak, as they can become too soft.
Arrange the dipped sponge fingers in a single layer at the bottom of your serving dish.
Spread half of the strawberry cream mixture evenly over the first layer.
Add another layer of dipped sponge fingers on top of the cream.
Spread the remaining cream mixture over the second layer, smoothing the surface.
Dust the top lightly with cocoa powder using a sieve for an even finish.
Decorate with fresh strawberries for an appealing look.
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set properly.
