Place 12 cookie quarters in the bottom of each of 4 dessert glasses. Pour 2 teaspoons Frangelico over the cookies in each dish. Add 2 sliced strawberries to each glass. Pour mascarpone mixture into glasses. Chill 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, beat cream until soft peaks form, add 1 tablespoon Frangelico and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Garnish each glass with whipped cream and a whole strawberry; serve.
Note:
Mascarpone is a rich, triple-cream Italian cheese often eaten mixed with fruit. It can be purchased at some Italian markets and gourmet food shops. If Mascarpone is not available, substitute an equal amount of cream cheese.
