- In a food processor, puree the ricotta, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and orange zest. Transfer to a medium bowl and fold in the whipped topping. In the same food processor (no need to clean), puree 1 cup of the sliced strawberries, the granulated sugar, liqueur and orange juice. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the strawberry puree into each of six dessert glasses. Top each with two ladyfinger halves. Spoon another tablespoon of the puree over the ladyfingers. Top with half of the sliced strawberries and then half the cheese mixture (dividing amongst the 6 servings). Top each glass with the remaining ladyfingers. Spoon on the remaining puree, berries and cheese mixture. Cover each glass with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Garnish each with a whole strawberry before serving.
