Ingredients
11 ounces cream cheese, softened
¾ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pint heavy whipping cream
2 (12 ounce) packages ladyfinger cookies
1 (16 ounce) package frozen strawberries
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Strain the frozen strawberries and set aside, reserving the juices.
- In a saucepan, bring the cornstarch and reserved strawberry juice to a gentle boil. Once it starts to thicken, remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whip together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, combining until smooth and fluffy.
- Arrange the ladyfinger cookies around the sides and bottom of an 8-inch springform pan, standing the cookies lengthwise along the edges of the pan.
- Pour half of the cream filling into the pan, followed by a layer of ladyfingers on top. Pour the remaining filling over the ladyfingers.
- Spread the cooled strawberry sauce over the top of the torte, then arrange whole strawberries on top as a garnish.
- Refrigerate the torte overnight or for at least 8 hours to allow it to set and chill thoroughly.
- Once chilled, remove the torte from the pan and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to substitute fresh strawberries for frozen, preparing them in the same manner.
This torte is best prepared ahead of time and refrigerated overnight for the best flavor and texture.
For a gluten-free version, swap out regular ladyfingers for gluten-free alternatives.
Add a layer of jam or jelly to the filling for extra strawberry flavor.
If the filling is too runny, ensure the whipped cream is beaten to stiff peaks before folding into the cream cheese mixture.
