Ingredients
Scale
Dairy and Cream:
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
Berries and Liquids:
- 1 cup (150 grams) mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) strong coffee (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) coffee liqueur (optional)
Baking and Finishing:
- 20 ladyfingers
- 2 tablespoons (10 grams) cocoa powder (for dusting)
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whip the heavy cream, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until achieving a silky, uniform consistency with soft peaks.
- Prepare a shallow dish with cooled coffee and coffee liqueur, quickly dipping ladyfingers to ensure minimal absorption without oversaturating.
- Create the first foundation layer in a trifle dish or serving glasses by arranging the coffee-kissed ladyfingers across the bottom surface.
- Gently spread a generous, even layer of the mascarpone cream directly over the ladyfinger base, ensuring complete coverage.
- Generously scatter a vibrant medley of mixed berries atop the cream layer, creating a colorful and textural dimension.
- Repeat the layering process: ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and berries, culminating with a final smooth cream layer as the crowning element.
- Delicately dust the surface with cocoa powder, providing an elegant finish and subtle chocolate undertone.
- Garnish with additional fresh berries for visual appeal and extra fruity freshness.
- Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing flavors to harmonize and texture to set perfectly before serving.
Notes
- Customize the coffee’s strength to match your taste preferences, using espresso or a milder brew for a personalized flavor profile.
- Swap traditional ladyfingers with gluten-free alternatives to create a celiac-friendly dessert that’s equally delicious and inclusive.
- Use fresh seasonal berries for the most vibrant and intense fruit flavor, ensuring each spoonful bursts with natural sweetness.
- Consider freezing individual portions for a refreshing summer dessert that can be prepared in advance and enjoyed straight from the refrigerator.
