Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the cream, mascarpone, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and salt together until the mixture forms medium-stiff peaks.
Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and cover with a layer of shortbread cookies. Spread one-quarter of the remaining cream mixture over the cookies and top with one-third of the strawberries. Cover the strawberries with another layer of cookies, then spread with one-quarter of the cream and one-third of the strawberries. Repeat with the remaining shortbread, one-quarter of the cream, and the remaining strawberries. Spread the remaining cream on top.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours. Serve with extra strawberries and fresh basil leaves.
