Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Cream Cheese Mixture
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups whipped topping
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Base Layer
- 1 package (9 oz) ladyfinger cookies or graham crackers
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Prepare cream cheese mixture: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a smooth layer.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture to keep it airy and light.
- Layer ladyfingers: Arrange a layer of ladyfinger cookies or graham crackers at the bottom of a glass dish and drizzle them evenly with milk to soften.
- Build layers: Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture over the soaked ladyfingers, then add a generous layer of fresh sliced strawberries on top.
- Repeat layers: Continue layering with ladyfingers soaked in milk, cream cheese mixture, and strawberries until all ingredients are used, finishing with the cream cheese mixture as the top layer.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled lasagna for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish the top with additional fresh strawberries for an appealing presentation and a burst of fresh flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- If ladyfinger cookies are unavailable, graham crackers can be a good substitute.
- For an added touch, sprinkle a little bit of grated white chocolate or mint leaves on top as garnish.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- The dessert can be made a day ahead to save time and enhance flavors.
