INSTRUCTIONS
Originally, I got this recipe from Allrecipes.com as one of their top 10 recipes. I have made many alterations to it and this is my version. This dessert is so easy and wonderfully, light. --Not too sweet. I make it one day ahead and have no trouble with the dessert staying firmly together. It's wonderful for Valentines' Day. Cheryl

Strawberry Torte

11 oz. cream cheese, softened
3/4 c white sugar
2 t vanilla extract
1 pint heavy whipping cream
2 pkg. of Fred Meyer's ladyfingers (on the shelves across from the bakery in the isle)

1 (16 oz.) pkg frozen strawberries
4 t. cornstarch
1/2 c white sugar
1/4 c water
1 t lemon juice

Strain strawberries and set aside, reserving juices. Mash about 1/3 of the strawberries. In a saucepan bring cornstarch, 1/2 c sugar, strawberry juice, mashed berries, and water to a gentle boil. Add whole strawberries and lemon juice and let cool. Whip cream to stiff peaks. In a separate bowl, whip cream cheese, 3/4 c sugar, and vanilla together till very well blended. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Arrange ladyfingers around sides and bottom of the 8 or 9 inch springform pan, standing ladyfingers lengthwise around sides of pan. Pour 1/2 of the filling into the pan, then place a layer of ladyfingers on top of filling. Pour remaining filling over ladyfingers. Spread strawberry sauce over top of cake and place whole fresh strawberries around top if desired. Refrigerate and remove from pan once thoroughly chilled, which should be several hours or overnight.
