Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature to create vanilla syrup.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tsp gelatin powder over 2 tbsp cold water and let bloom for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  4. Step 4: In another bowl, beat 4 oz softened cream cheese with 1 tsp lemon zest until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Step 5: Warm the bloomed gelatin gently until liquid and mix into the cream cheese mixture thoroughly.
  6. Step 6: Line a 7-inch springform pan with 24 ladyfinger biscuits, standing upright around the sides and covering the bottom.
  7. Step 7: Brush the ladyfingers generously with the cooled vanilla syrup.
  8. Step 8: Spread half of the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture evenly over the bottom layer.
  9. Step 9: Scatter 1 cup sliced strawberries, 1/2 cup blueberries, and 1/2 cup raspberries over the cream layer.
  10. Step 10: Add the remaining cream mixture on top, smoothing the surface. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
  11. Step 11: Remove the springform pan before serving and garnish with additional fresh berries if desired.
