Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I created this recipe because I wanted to do something different with the beautiful, sweet, red ripe strawberries from our garden. It's a cool, creamy, fruity dessert that tastes as good as it looks! Please note that It needs to be refrigerated for a minimum of 6 hours before serving (overnight is preferable) but the wait is worth it! We love it.

Desserts that can be made ahead of time are our jam! This is a great recipe for summertime holidays (like Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day) or when you want to bring a pretty no-bake dessert to a weekend BBQ. The ladyfingers absorb the strawberry juices. The creamy and tangy cream cheese layer has the perfect balance of sweetness. Finally, the layer of strawberries adds a fresh flavor. Yum!

    2
    Wash and hull berries.
  • Half of the berries in a bowl.
    3
    Into medium bowl, slice 1/2 of the berries (about 3 slices for medium-size, 4-5 for large).
  • Sprinkling granulated sugar over the berries.
    4
    Sprinkle with 1/2 of the granulated sugar.
  • Remaining berries sliced.
    5
    Slice and add remaining berries.
  • Sugar sprinkled over remaining berries.
    6
    Sprinkle with remaining granulated sugar. Mix gently with a large spoon, lifting berries from bottom to top. Cover & refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Creaming the cream cheese.
    7
    In mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  • Adding condensed milk, powdered sugar, salt, lemon juice, lemon extract, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
    8
    Add sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, salt, lemon juice, lemon extract, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

    9
    Using spatula, fold 1/2 tub whipped topping into cream cheese mixture until well combined; set aside.

  • Dipping the ladyfinger into the strawberry juice.
