Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 ladyfingers
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
Fruits:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Liquid and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup coffee liqueur
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend chilled coffee with coffee liqueur in a shallow container, swiftly dipping ladyfingers to prevent oversaturation.
- Create the initial foundation by positioning coffee-kissed ladyfingers across the base of a trifle dish.
- Whip mascarpone cheese with heavy cream, incorporating granulated sugar and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, luscious consistency.
- Generously distribute half of the creamy mascarpone blend atop the ladyfinger layer.
- Artfully scatter a vibrant medley of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries across the mascarpone surface.
- Construct a secondary layer by repeating the ladyfinger dipping process and spreading the remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Crown the dessert with another lavish arrangement of mixed berries.
- Seal the trifle and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing flavors to harmonize and textures to meld.
- Just before serving, embellish with delicate mint leaves and a sprinkle of additional fresh berries for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Quick-dip ladyfingers to prevent sogginess, ensuring they absorb coffee without falling apart.
- Opt for room temperature mascarpone and cream for smoother, more even mixing when creating the creamy layer.
- Select ripe, fresh berries at peak sweetness to enhance the dessert’s natural fruity flavor and vibrant color.
- Make this dessert gluten-free by substituting ladyfingers with gluten-free sponge cake or almond flour-based cookies.
