Steps

Prepare Strawberries

Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice two-thirds of the strawberries thinly, and mash the remaining one-third with a fork or blend lightly to create a thick puree.

Make the Cream

In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until you get a smooth, creamy, yet stable cream. If using, add the grated lemon zest.

Crush Biscuits

Crush the digestive biscuits into coarse crumbs. You can do this by hand, with a rolling pin in a bag, or in a food processor.

Layer and Chill

Take four dessert glasses. Start with a layer of biscuit crumbs, then add a layer of sliced strawberries, followed by a portion of mascarpone cream, and finally a spoonful of strawberry puree. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full. Top with cream and garnish with fresh strawberry pieces. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill properly.

Extra Tips

► For the biscuit layer, you can use other types of biscuits, such as ladyfingers or oat biscuits, the main thing is that they are crunchy.

► If you want a more intense strawberry flavor, you can add a little lemon juice or a pinch of cinnamon to the strawberry puree.

► You can prepare the dessert in advance, but the biscuit layer is crunchiest if you assemble it just before serving.
