Method

In a blender or food processor, mix strawberries until coarsely chopped. In a saucepan, whisk strawberries and juice with cornstarch and bring to a gentle boil then simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool. Whip cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together. In a separate bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Set aside 1/2 cup. Arrange ladyfingers around sides and bottom of the 8 or 9 inch springform pan, standing ladyfingers lengthwise around sides of pan. Pour 1/2 of filling into pan, top with half of strawberry mixture, and place a layer of ladyfingers on top of filling. Pour remaining filling over ladyfingers, and top with remaining strawberry mixture. Spread strawberry sauce over top of cake and place whole strawberries on top. Refrigerate and remove from pan once thoroughly chilled. To serve, place reserved whipped topping mixture in a ziptop bag and cut off a small corner piece. Pipe 12 small stars around edge of torte, and nestle a whole berry in the center of each star.
