### 👩‍🍳 **How to Make It**

**1. Prepare the strawberries:**
In a bowl, toss sliced strawberries with sugar if desired, and set aside to soften and release juices.

**2. Make the filling:**
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Gently fold in the melted white chocolate, then fold in the whipped cream until smooth and fluffy.

**3. Assemble the tiramisu:**
Quickly dip ladyfingers into strawberry juice or syrup (don’t soak — just a quick dunk). Lay them in the bottom of your dish or glasses. Spread a layer of mascarpone mixture over the top, then add a layer of strawberries. Repeat layers until the dish is filled, ending with mascarpone cream.

**4. Chill:**
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best flavor and texture).

**5. Garnish and serve:**
Top with more fresh strawberries, white chocolate shavings, and a dusting of powdered sugar just before serving.
