Perfect for dinner parties, special occasions, or simply treating yourself, these Tiramisu Trifles are guaranteed to be a hit with anyone who takes a spoonful.
Ingredients:
– 250g mascarpone cheese
– 100ml double cream
– 3 tbsp icing sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 200ml espresso or strong coffee, cooled
– 100g ladyfinger biscuits
– 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
– Cocoa powder, for dusting
Step 1: Prepare the Mascarpone Cream
Start by whisking the mascarpone cheese in a bowl until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the double cream with the icing sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese until well combined. Set the mascarpone cream aside in the fridge to chill while you prepare the other components.
Step 2: Soak the Ladyfinger Biscuits
In a shallow dish, mix the espresso or strong coffee with the coffee liqueur if using. Dip each ladyfinger biscuit briefly into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not overly soggy. Place the soaked biscuits on a plate in a single layer.
Step 3: Assemble the Tiramisu Trifles
Take your glass jars and begin layering the components. Start with a layer of soaked ladyfinger biscuits at the bottom of each jar, breaking them if needed to fit. Next, spoon a layer of the mascarpone cream on top of the biscuits. Repeat this process, creating alternating layers of soaked biscuits and mascarpone cream, finishing with a final layer of mascarpone cream on top.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Once assembled, cover the Tiramisu Trifles with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together. Before serving, dust the tops of each trifle with a generous sprinkle of cocoa powder for that classic Tiramisu finish. Serve chilled and enjoy the luxurious layers of creamy goodness in every spoonful.
Tips for Success:
– For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the coffee liqueur from the recipe.
– Feel free to customize your Tiramisu Trifles by adding a hint of cinnamon or a splash of Amaretto for extra flair.
– To make mini Tiramisu Trifles, use smaller glass jars or dessert cups for individual portions.

Whether you’re a fan of traditional Italian desserts or simply looking for a show-stopping sweet treat, these indulgent delights are sure to leave you craving more with every luscious spoonful.
