Instructions
Creating No Bake Summer Berry Lasagna is simple with the following steps:
1. Prepare the Berries: Wash and dry the berries. Slice larger berries, like strawberries, into halves or quarters.
2. Mix Cheeses: In a bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and mascarpone cheese until smooth.
3. Add Sugar and Flavor: Mix in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Blend until fully incorporated.
4. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture.
5. Layer the Ingredients: In a rectangular dish, spread a layer of the cheese mixture evenly at the bottom.
6. First Layer of Noodles: Arrange a layer of no-bake lasagna noodles (or graham crackers) over the cheese layer.
7. Add More Berries: Scatter a layer of mixed berries on top of the noodles.
8. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process with more cheese mixture, noodles, and berries until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of cheese mixture on top.
9. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once set, remove from the fridge, top with additional berries and fresh mint if desired. Cut into squares to serve.
