Strawberry and Yogurt Zuccotto

Tools

What we need

1 Bowl glass, 3 liters
1 Plastic wrap
1 Hand mixer
1 Immersion blender

Steps

Let’s go to the kitchen

Let’s prepare the yogurt cream
In a bowl place the cream, the yogurt and the powdered sugar and the vanillin, then start whipping with the help of an electric mixer;
Wash and clean the strawberries and cut them into pieces, then place them in a bowl.
Sprinkle the strawberry pieces with the sugar and 4 tablespoons of water/limoncello and blend everything with the immersion blender.
If it still seems too thick, add a little more water.
Prepare the zuccotto mold by lining it with plastic wrap, pressing it well against the sides and leaving some overhang at the edges.
Wash and clean the strawberries, pat them slightly dry, and slice them into very thin vertical slices. Line the entire surface of the mold with the thin slices, starting from the center and going up to the top edges (you can see this better in the photos).
Cover all the strawberry slices with a little of the yogurt cream.
Then place a radial layer of ladyfingers that you have lightly soaked in the syrup.
Follow with more cream and more soaked ladyfingers, continuing in this way until you have used all the ingredients.
The last layer will be ladyfingers.
At this point transfer the zuccotto to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
After the time has passed, invert the bowl onto a serving plate and, using the plastic wrap, remove the zuccotto.
If instead you want a semifreddo, place the zuccotto in the freezer for 4 hours and then enjoy it.
