Prepare the macerated strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and fresh lemon juice. Gently toss to coat. Let the strawberries sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to macerate, stirring occasionally. This allows the sugar to draw out the juices and create a light syrup.

Make the whipped white chocolate mascarpone cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cold heavy cream, cold mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer with a whisk attachment), beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat, or the mascarpone can become grainy.
