Prep the Strawberries:
In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla. Let sit for 15-30 minutes until juicy. Lightly mash a few berries to create a syrup.
Make the Mascarpone Cream:
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, gently mix mascarpone until smooth, then fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until light and fluffy.
Assemble the Layers:
Lightly dip each ladyfinger into the strawberry syrup (just a quick dunk, don’t soak!)
Arrange a full layer of ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish. You may need to cut some of the ladyfingers to fit.
Spread half the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
Spoon strawberry jam swirls over the cream (optional but adds amazing flavor), then layer on the macerated strawberries, saving a few spoonfuls to serve on the side.
Repeat the layers: dipped ladyfingers, remaining mascarpone cream, and more strawberry jam swirls for decoration on top.
Chill at least 6 hours before serving, overnight is even better! Garnish with extra sliced strawberries when ready to serve.
