Steps

Prepare Strawberries

Wash the strawberries and hull them. Set aside a few nice ones for garnish, then cut the rest into smaller pieces. Puree half of the pieces with an immersion blender or fork, and leave the other half in small chunks. If using sweet strawberries, no sugar is needed, but if they are tarter, mix in 1-2 teaspoons of powdered sugar.

Make the Cream

In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, loosen the mascarpone with a fork, then gently fold it into the whipped cream to achieve a light, creamy consistency.

Layer and Chill

Crumble the biscuits into coarse crumbs. Prepare 4 glasses. Start layering with a portion of biscuit crumbs, followed by a layer of strawberry puree, then a layer of creamy mascarpone. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full. Top with cream and garnish with the reserved fresh strawberry pieces. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill thoroughly.

Extra Tips

► For the best results, ensure both the heavy cream and mascarpone are very cold before whipping them.

► If you prefer a tarter taste, you can mix a little lemon juice into the strawberry puree.

► You can substitute the biscuit crumbs with granola or toasted almonds for an extra textural element.
