Wash and hull 120g of strawberries. 2. Add to a saucepan with sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until soft and jam-like. 3. Blend smooth with an immersion blender, then strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds. 4. Let cool — you'll use this both for soaking the cookies and as a filling. Gelatin: 5. Soak the gelatin in cold water for 5–7 minutes until bloomed. 6. Squeeze out excess water and melt until fully liquid. Set aside to cool slightly. Cream filling: 7. Whip cold heavy cream with powdered sugar until thick and fluffy. 8. In a separate bowl, soften cream cheese with powdered sugar using a spatula. 9. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese. 10. Pour in the cooled liquid gelatin and fold gently — this makes the filling stable and airy. Assembly (in a springform pan): 11. Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the strawberry jam — 1-2 seconds only. 12. Arrange in a tight single layer on the bottom of the pan. 13. Spread half the cream filling evenly on top. 14. Add a spoonful of the remaining jam, spread lightly. 15. Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers. 16. Cover with the remaining cream. Smooth the top. 17. Freeze for several hours until fully set. 18. Remove from the pan and decorate the top with fresh strawberry slices. 💡 TIPS ✔ Strain the jam through a sieve — removes seeds for a perfectly smooth texture ✔ Dip ladyfingers very quickly — too long and they fall apart ✔ Cool the gelatin before adding — hot gelatin will melt the whipped cream ✔ Freeze overnight for the cleanest slices ✔ Run a warm knife around the edge before removing the springform ring ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍓 WATCH NEXT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👉 No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake with Ladyfingers →    • No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake with Ladyfin...   👉 No-Bake Strawberry Jam Cheesecake Pie →    • No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Pie — Homema...   👉 4 No-Bake Ice Cream Desserts →    • 4 Easy No-Bake Ice Cream Desserts — Oreo C...   #NoBakeDessert #StrawberryIceCreamCake #LadyfingerCake #NoBakeIceCream #StrawberryCake #NoBakeRecipes #IceCreamCake #EasyDessertRecipes #LadyfingerDessert #StrawberryDessert #FrozenDessert #NoBakeCake #SummerDesserts #HomemadeJam #EasyDesserts
