Ingredients
2 cups heavy whipping cream
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup (4 oz) mascarpone cheese
9 oz white baking chocolate, melted and cooled
1 cup confectioners’ sugar, divided
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 packages (3 oz each) ladyfingers, split
⅔ cup orange juice
4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzle)
Instructions
- Prepare the Whipped Cream: Whip heavy cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- Make the Creamy Mixture: Beat cream cheese and mascarpone until fluffy. Add melted white chocolate, ½ cup confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream.
- Layer the Tiramisu: Brush half of the ladyfingers with half of the orange juice and arrange them in a 13×9-inch dish. Spread half of the cream mixture over them, followed by half of the sliced strawberries.
- Add the Second Layer: Brush the remaining ladyfingers with the rest of the orange juice and place them over the strawberries. Mix the remaining ½ cup confectioners’ sugar into the remaining cream mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream. Spread evenly over the second layer.
- Top & Chill: Top with the remaining strawberries and cover the dish. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving, if desired.
Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Substitutions: If you don’t have ladyfingers, sponge cake or vanilla cake can be used. For a boozy kick, substitute orange juice with rum or amaretto.
