White Chocolate-Strawberry Tiramisu

By TrayH

Here's a twist on a classic dessert that highlights another flavor combo my husband and I love: strawberries and white chocolate. Lighten it up if you'd like—I've had good luck with light non-dairy whipped topping and reduced-fat cream cheese.

Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup (4 ounces) mascarpone cheese
• 9 ounces white baking chocolate, melted and cooled
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 packages (3 ounces each) ladyfingers, split
• 2/3 cup orange juice
• 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
• Chocolate syrup, optional
