Servings: 12 serving
Ingredients
- 2 package ladyfingers (7 oz)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3-4 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- 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.
- Transfer the whipped cream mixture into a pastry bag. If you don’t have a pastry bag, you can use a plastic sandwich bag with a small corner cut-off.
- 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.
- Dip the entire ladyfinger sandwich into a shallow bowl of milk for just a few seconds. Be sure not to soak them too long, or they’ll get too soggy.
- Roll the milk-soaked sandwich in shredded coconut, making sure all sides are covered.
- Take paper cup liners and shape them into small boat-like containers. Place each ladyfinger sandwich sideways inside the cup liners
- Pipe extra cream onto the top of each Ladyfinger sandwich, then place half a strawberry on top.
- Cover the desserts and store them in the fridge overnight.
Notes
- Don’t Over-Soak the Ladyfingers: Just a quick dip in milk is enough. Soaking them too long can make them soggy and affect the texture.
- Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is soft and at room temperature so it blends smoothly with the whipped cream.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the dessert overnight or for at least a few hours to allow the flavors to set and the texture to firm up.
