by Carlos Jimenez Active Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 4 hours & 30 minutes Servings: 9 slices Ingredients Syrup 1 pack Italian Ladyfingers 3/4 cup water 1/2 cup sugar 1 tbsp orange zest 1 tbsp lemon zest 1 tbsp orange juice 1 cup whole raspberries 1 cup whole blueberries 2 cup strawberries, chopped

Cream Filling 1 cup mascrapone 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 3/4 cup sugar

Directions 01 Combine your water and sugar in a medium saucepan for your syrup mixture. Over medium heat, bring it to a light boil until all sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes. 02 Once the sugar has dissolved, turn off the heat. Add the orange zest, lemon zest, orange juice, and all the berries into the syrup, allowing it to sit until it comes down to room temperature. Once the syrup mixture has cooled, strain the syrup mixture from the berries. Make sure you keep both the syrup and soaked berries. 03 Begin making the cream filling. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat together the heavy whipping cream and the sugar for the cream filling. Whip until you develop soft peaks, about 4 minutes. 04 Once soft peaks have formed, add the mascarpone. Whip together until you develop stiff peaks, about 3 minutes. Set in the refrigerator while the syrup mixture cools to room temperature. 05 Once the syrup has cooled, dunk one ladyfinger at a time into the syrup mixture very briefly (if dunked for too long, it will absorb too much liquid and fall apart). Line onto an 8x8 baking dish until the bottom of the dish is completely lined. 06 Spread ½ of the berries over the ladyfingers in an even layer. Then spread ½ of the cream over the berries and ladyfingers in an even layer. 07 Repeat steps 5-6 to create a second layer. 08 Garnish with powdered sugar, and allow to sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours to fully set. When serving, garnish with more powdered sugar and freshly sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. (adapted from King Aurthur Baking’s recipe) 33
