Spread ice cream over ladyfingers.

Repeat with the remaining 6 ladyfingers.

Top with remaining whipped cream mixture.

Cover and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 2 weeks.

Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.

Transfer the trifle to a serving platter.

Top with fresh strawberries, if using.
