A classic Italian dessert with a fruity twist, strawberry tiramisu is a perfect way to end your meal on a sweet note. This dessert is made with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, a creamy and sweet combination of cream cheese and whipped topping, and topped with fresh sliced strawberries.

This delicious dessert is the perfect way to impress your guests or satisfy your sweet tooth in a light and easy to make way.

4.Dip each ladyfinger half into the coffee mixture for a few seconds, then place them in a single layer in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
5.Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the ladyfingers, then top with half of the sliced strawberries.
6.Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers, cream cheese mixture, and sliced strawberries.
7.Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight.
8.Before serving, sprinkle the cocoa powder evenly over the top of the dessert.
