In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sliced strawberries, maple syrup (or sugar), and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the strawberries soften and release juice, creating a syrup-like sauce.
Remove from heat and allow the strawberry sauce to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut cream, vegan cream cheese, and vanilla extract.
Whisk or beat with a hand mixer until the mixture becomes smooth and fluffy.
Quickly dip each vegan ladyfinger into plant-based milk (do not soak too long).
Arrange a layer of soaked cookies at the bottom of a serving dish.
Spread a layer of vegan cream mixture over the cookies.
Add a layer of sliced strawberries and drizzle strawberry sauce on top.
Repeat the layers of cookies, cream, and strawberries until the dish is filled.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight so the dessert sets and the flavors blend.
Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberry slices, powdered sugar, or mint leaves.
