5
Distribute half of the sliced strawberries over the ladyfingers, followed by spreading half of the mascarpone mixture on top.

Repeat the layers by brushing the remaining ladyfinger halves with the remaining strawberry preserves, layering with the rest of the strawberries, and finishing with the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.
