Instructions
-
Prepare the Strawberries: Start by thoroughly cleaning the fresh strawberries under cold running water. Once they are clean, reserve a few strawberries for garnish, then slice the remaining strawberries into thin pieces.
-
-
Mix with Condensed Milk: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the sweetened condensed milk, gently folding them together to create a delicious strawberry mixture that will serve as a key component of your layered dessert.
-
Line the Loaf Pan: Take a loaf pan and line it with either plastic film or aluminum foil. This step is crucial for easy removal of the dessert once it’s set. Ensure the lining overlaps the edges of the pan for easy lifting later.
-
Layer the Ingredients: Begin assembling your dessert by laying down a single layer of ladyfingers at the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle the ladyfingers with fresh orange juice to infuse them with a refreshing citrus flavor.
-
Add the Strawberry Mixture: Next, spoon a generous layer of the strawberry and sweetened condensed milk mixture over the ladyfingers, spreading it evenly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
-
Whipped Cream Layer: Follow the strawberry layer with a layer of whipped cream. This adds a light and fluffy texture that beautifully complements the other ingredients.
-
Repeat Layers: Continue the layering process, repeating the steps of adding ladyfingers, the strawberry mixture, and whipped cream until all ingredients are used up. Be sure to finish with a final layer of ladyfingers on top for a beautiful presentation.
-
Chill the Dessert: Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly. This chilling time is essential for achieving the perfect texture.
-
Serve and Garnish: Once set, gently lift the dessert out of the pan using the edges of the lining. Place it on a serving platter, and garnish with the reserved strawberries for an added touch of freshness and color.
-
Enjoy: Slice and serve this delicious Layered Strawberry and Cream Dessert to family and friends, relishing in the light, fruity flavors that make it an ideal treat for any occasion.
