. Dip each ladyfinger into the milk mixture briefly and arrange them along the sides and bottom of a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan, creating a “wall” of ladyfingers.
. Spread a layer of whipped cream over the ladyfingers, then add a layer of fresh berries.
. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, whipped cream, and berries.
. Continue layering until the pan is filled, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
