Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add Mascarpone Cheese (1 pckg) and Powdered Confectioners Sugar (1/2 cup) and mix until well combined.

Proceed to mix for 3-4 minutes on high speed until the whisk trails show in the cream. The cream should be thick and have semi-soft peaks.

Step 6
Layer Fresh Strawberries (7) on top. Add another layer of Lemon Cookies (16) .
Step 7
Spoon another layer of saffron cream on top, making sure to leave behind about 1 cup of cream for the top layer. Spread it into an even layer and top with a layer of Peach (1) .
Step 8
Add one more layer of Lemon Cookies (16) and spread the rest of the cream on top.
Step 9
