Ingredients

Scale

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

  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
