For the Cream Filling
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipped cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
For the Coffee Soak
- 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
- 1/2 cup warm milk or coffee substitute
For the Layers
- About 12 ladyfingers or equivalent sponge cake slices
For Garnish
- Prepare the Coffee Soak: Combine instant espresso powder with warm milk or water, stirring until fully dissolved to create the coffee soak for infusing the ladyfingers with tiramisu flavor.
- Whip the Cream and Mascarpone: In a chilled bowl, beat the whipped cream with sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming the luscious filling.
- Layer the Ingredients: Briefly dip ladyfingers in the coffee soak—ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in each trifle cup, followed by a layer of the mascarpone cream. Repeat layers, finishing with a final cream layer on top.
- Garnish and Chill: Generously dust cocoa powder over the top layer using a fine sieve. Cover and refrigerate the trifle cups for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld beautifully before serving.
Notes
- Chill your mixing bowl to whip cream faster and achieve fluffier peaks.
- Dip ladyfingers quickly (1-2 seconds) to prevent sogginess and retain structure.
- Use fresh mascarpone for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Sweeten gradually by tasting as you add sugar to reach your preferred sweetness.
- Use clear glass cups to showcase the elegant layered presentation.
