A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring creamy layers of cream cheese and whipped cream combined with fresh macerated strawberries and soaked ladyfingers, perfect for warm weather and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 24 ladyfingers
  • 1/2 cup strawberry juice or light strawberry syrup
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Macerate the strawberries by combining sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix gently and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the cream layer by beating softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and airy.
  3. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the strawberry juice or syrup for 1-2 seconds and place them at the bottom of each serving cup.
  4. Spoon a layer of the creamy mixture over the ladyfingers, followed by a layer of macerated strawberries. Repeat with another ladyfinger layer and cream layer, finishing with strawberries on top.
  5. Chill the assembled cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to let flavors meld and cream set.
  6. Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

Use cold heavy cream for best whipping results. Fold whipped cream gently to keep the mixture airy. Dip ladyfingers quickly (1-2 seconds) to avoid sogginess. Macerate strawberries to release natural juices for soaking. Can be made ahead and chilled overnight. For dairy-free, use vegan cream cheese and coconut cream; for gluten-free, use gluten-free ladyfingers or almond biscuits.
