Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Reserve a few whole strawberries for garnish, then hull and slice the remaining strawberries into thin pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture using a hand mixer or stand mixer until medium peaks form.
Add the cream cheese to the whipped cream mixture and gently mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the milk into a shallow dish or bowl. Quickly dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the milk, being careful not to soak them for too long to avoid them becoming overly soggy.
In a serving dish or individual dessert glasses, layer the dessert as follows: start with a layer of milk-dipped ladyfingers, then add a layer of the cream mixture, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the dish, ending with a cream layer.
Garnish the top with the reserved whole strawberries and, if desired, a sprinkling of freshly chopped mint leaves for a pop of color and aroma.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and the ladyfingers to soften slightly.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
