  This is a beautiful recipe with wonderful flavours. I used Chateau Haut-Bergeron and found some Biscotti biscuits at our local Italian shop though not the traditional ones and I might try amaretti biscuits next time. I would suggest using more strawberries, this is definitely one for the folder.

  I used arametti biscuits & lots more stawberries. It looks impressive. Took it to my work's bbq & it went down very well.

  I made this with a little more mascarpone and swopped the strawberries for mixed berries. This made it colourful. I also added a couple of drops of lemon extract to the cheese & cream mixture. Looked good and tasted yummy although rather sweet.

  I have made this loads of times, its so easy, I swop the fruit for seasonal or instant, e.g lovely made with jar of morello cherries and kirsch rather than vin santo, scrummy!

  Lovely recipe. I would suggest using more strawberries as the strawberry layer was a bit thin.

  This was a huge hit at a recent dinner party and incredibly easy to make. Used amarreti biscuits and 500g of strawberries. Small leftovers kept well in fridge for 2 days. Will def. do again and will try gigi90's idea above.

  Had to jiggle this one, I used twice the amount of stawberries and had to use a sweet dessert wine (Muscat) as I couldn't find Vin Santo anywhere, not even Waitrose! Also used italian sponge fingers not biscotti. However it made a lovely light strawberry tiramisu style dessert which easily served 8.

  Very good with amaretto bisquits, I've made this twice and it has been a success. There's quite a bit of liquid from the crushed strawberries (maybe I mashed them too profoundly, sliced might have been just as good), so be careful with the wine so that the bisquits remain a bit dry and will soak up some of the liquid.

  I used twice the amount of strawberries and amaretti biscuits, as suggested by other posts. Very yummy, took it to a friend's BBQ and they were all very impressed

  Made this for a new year's eve party...and it was really well received. I used amaretti biscuits, and added the amaretti liquor instead of a sweet wine.The strawberry layer wasn't going to be sufficient, so I added halfed green grapes.
