Instructions
1
Prepare three milk mixture by whisking evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream in a bowl. Add a very small amount of cardamom powder (if using), and taste. Adjust the flavor per your liking from there
2
In a clean dish (I used a 7x11" dish), stack ladyfingers tightly to create one layer. Fill any gaps by trimming ladyfingers.
3
Using a 1/4 cup measure, start drenching the ladyfingers. Make sure you get every one of them. You will use half of the milk mixture here. Don't worry if it looks like a lot, the ladyfingers will soak up the milk
4
Wait 10-20 minutes for the ladyfingers to soak up most of the milk mixture
5
Repeat with the second layer of ladyfingers
6
Place the dish in the fridge for ~2 hours
7
In the meanwhile, whip up heavy cream to stiff peaks
8
Spread half of the heavy cream on top of the ladyfingers, using an offset spatula to even it out
9
In the other half, add any food color of your liking (or don't). Transfer to a piping bag, and pipe to decorate. You can use any style of piping you like!

Decorate with crushed freeze dried strawberries and chopped pistachios
