Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Ladyfinger Biscuits (about 20-24 pieces)
  • 1 cup Strong Coffee or Espresso, cooled to room temperature
  • 250g Mascarpone Cheese
  • 1 cup Whipping Cream (heavy cream), chilled
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Cocoa Powder for dusting
  • Optional: 2 tbsp Coffee Liqueur or Rum

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coffee Soak: Brew a strong cup of coffee or espresso and let it cool to room temperature. If using a liqueur, stir it into the coffee to add extra flavor.
  2. Whip the Cream and Mascarpone: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold in mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Dip the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the coffee mixture, making sure they absorb some coffee without becoming soggy.
  4. Assemble the Trifle Cups: Layer the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of individual glasses or a large trifle bowl. Add a generous layer of the mascarpone cream mixture. Repeat the layering process until the glasses or bowl are nearly full, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
  5. Add the Finishing Touch: Dust the top layer evenly with cocoa powder using a fine sieve for an elegant finish.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the trifle cups for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set before serving.

Notes

  • Chill mascarpone and cream beforehand to achieve better whipping consistency.
  • Dip ladyfingers quickly to avoid sogginess and maintain texture.
  • Use freshly brewed strong coffee or espresso for optimum flavor.
  • Layer evenly to ensure balanced taste and appealing presentation.
  • Allow proper chilling time to enhance texture and flavor melding.
  • Optional substitutions: cream cheese mixed with heavy cream for mascarpone, or plant-based alternatives for a vegan version.
  • Serve in clear glasses or mason jars for an attractive layered presentation.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Freeze components separately for up to a month; thaw fully before assembling.
  • Reheat only by allowing the dessert to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes after refrigeration for softer bites (reheating with heat not recommended).
