Make the tea and place it in a flat bowl. Add liquor and mix. Set aside to cool down to room temperature. I used a 9" round spring form pan and the sides were about 3" high.
2½ cups berry or fruit tea, ½ oz liquor
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream, sugar, and mascarpone together until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and liquor and mix until well combined. Set aside in another bowl.
15.87 oz mascarpone cheese, ½ cups confectioner's sugar, ½ tsp vanilla extract, ½ oz liquor
In the same bowl using a whisk attachment, beat cream and sugar until soft peaks form. Add the mascarpone mixture back into the bowl and mix at low speed just to combine, do not over whip.
1½ cup whipping cream, ¾ cup confectioner's sugar
Get your spring form pan ready, if needed measure and cut the lady finger cookies that will be placed upward along the sides of the pan.
Dip half the cookie in the tea mixture and stand the cookie on the side of the pan, repeat until you have completely lined the circumference of the pan. Then begin layering the bottom of the pan.
14 oz lady finger cookies
Once you have completed one layer, spoon ⅓ of the mascarpone mixture and layer one inch of the mixture atop the cookies. Strategically place ½ of the sliced strawberries on top of the cheese mixture. Repeat until you have completed three layers ending with the mascarpone mixture. Reserve a couple of strawberries for garnish if you want.
1 cups strawberries
For the top of the cake garnish with strawberries or you can reserve some cream and pipe out rosettes around the edge and continue all the way around the top until you reach the centre.
Let chill overnight preferably so that the cookies get soft and absorb the tea mixture.
Notes
Top Tips
I used a 9" round spring form pan with a height of about 3" for this dessert but you can use any dish so long as it is large enough to hold all the cream.If the cream isn't thick enough for piping on the top layer, return the mixture to your stand mixer or mix until thick. Then using a piping bag and your preferred attachment to make rosettes on top.This cake is best served chilled overnight.
