Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer or whisk
  • 1 trifle dish or individual serving glasses
  • 1 small bowl for coffee
  • 1 spoon or spatula for layering

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur optional
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 pieces ladyfinger cookies
  • unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Brew a cup of strong coffee and let it cool. If using, add the coffee liqueur to the cooled coffee and mix well.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
  • Take the ladyfinger cookies and quickly dip each one into the coffee mixture for just a second to soak them.
  • In a trifle dish or individual serving glasses, layer the bottom with a third of the soaked ladyfingers.
  • Add a layer of mascarpone cream on top of the ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.
  • Sprinkle a layer of mixed fresh berries over the mascarpone cream, spreading them out evenly.
  • Repeat the layers two more times: ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and berries, finishing with a layer of berries on top.
  • If desired, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder for added flavor and decoration.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

For a non-coffee version, you can substitute the coffee with a mixture of milk and vanilla extract.
Feel free to experiment with other seasonal berries or fruits as desired.
The trifle can be assembled a day in advance, making it a great option for gatherings.
