No-Bake Strawberry Lemon Cream Layered Dessert

Strawberries are a sign that summer has well and truly arrived.

This No-Bake Strawberry Lemon Cream Layered Dessert allows you to showcase the seasonal berries while beating the heat.

A bit of balsamic vinegar brings out the flavor of the berries. (You can use white balsamic if you don’t want it to show.)

The recipe calls for ladyfingers, which you can find in the cookie section of most grocery stores. Leftover cake will work, too.

Let the dessert sit in the fridge for at least an hour to give the ladyfingers time to soften up and absorb some of the lemon cream.

You can make this with any berries in season: blueberries and raspberries, or a combination.

For blueberries (or a berry combo), substitute lemon or orange juice for the balsamic. If you are using raspberries, omit the vinegar and brown sugar and just use the berries as is.
