• Ladyfingers – You can find them at most grocery stores. They are light and airy, perfect for absorbing flavors.

• Heavy Cream – Use cold heavy cream for whipping to achieve a smooth and fluffy consistency.

• Cream Cheese – Let it reach room temperature so it blends easily with the other ingredients.

• Shredded Coconut – Adds extra flavor and texture to the dessert.

• Prepare the cream filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, cream cheese, and powdered sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Continue beating until stiff peaks form, meaning the cream holds its shape when you lift the beaters. This will give the filling a thick and fluffy texture.

• Fill the pastry bag: Transfer the whipped cream mixture into a pastry bag. This makes it easier to apply the cream evenly onto the ladyfingers without making a mess. If you don’t have a pastry bag, you can use a plastic sandwich bag with a small corner cut off.

• Assemble the ladyfingers: Take one ladyfinger and apply a line of the cream mixture along the top. Place another ladyfinger on top of it to make a sandwich. Gently press down to make sure they stick together.

• Soften the ladyfingers: Dip the entire ladyfinger sandwich into a shallow bowl of milk for just a few seconds. This softens the ladyfingers and helps them absorb the milk. Be sure not to soak them too long, or they’ll get too soggy.

• Coat with coconut: Roll the milk-soaked sandwich in shredded coconut, making sure all sides are covered.

• Place in paper cups: Take paper cup liners and shape them into small boat-like containers. Place each ladyfinger sandwich sideways inside the cup liners. This helps them stay in place and makes them easier to serve.

• Decorate the dessert: Pipe or spoon extra cream onto the top of each ladyfinger sandwich, then place half a strawberry on top for a fresh and colorful finish.

• Chill overnight: Cover the desserts and store them in the fridge overnight. This allows the flavors to blend and makes the dessert firm enough to enjoy the next day.

• Chill the Whipping Cream: Cold heavy cream is easier to whip and will achieve a fluffier texture. Before starting, place your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to keep everything cool and make whipping easier.

• Don’t Soak the Ladyfingers Too Long: When dipping the ladyfingers in milk, don’t leave them in for more than a few seconds. If they soak too long, they can become soggy and lose their texture. Aim for a quick dip—just enough to soften them.

• Customize the Filling: You can switch up the cream filling by adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract, lemon zest, or even a splash of coffee for a different flavor profile.

• Make Ahead: These desserts actually taste even better after sitting in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. If you're prepping for a party, make them ahead of time and let them chill to let the flavors develop.

• Serve Cold: Always serve this dessert chilled. It keeps its shape and texture better when it’s cold, and the flavors come together more when it’s been refrigerated overnight.
