Ingredients

Gather these essential ingredients to create your Tiramisu Trifle:

• 1 prepared Tiramisu (or follow the Tiramisu recipe mentioned earlier)
• 1/2 cup coffee liqueur (optional, for soaking the ladyfingers)
• 1 package of ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Recipe Directions

1. If not using a pre-made Tiramisu, prepare the Tiramisu following the earlier recipe until you reach the layering stage.
2. Cut the ladyfinger cookies into halves or thirds, depending on the size of your trifle bowl.
3. Begin layering the trifle: Start with a layer of the prepared Tiramisu or the mascarpone-cream mixture if making it fresh.
4. Drizzle a bit of coffee liqueur over the Tiramisu layer (if desired).
5. Add a layer of halved or thirded ladyfinger cookies on top of the Tiramisu layer.
6. Repeat the layers until the trifle bowl is filled, ensuring the top layer is Tiramisu or the mascarpone-cream mixture.
7. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
8. Spread the whipped cream over the top layer of the trifle.
9. Dust the surface generously with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.
10. Cover the trifle bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

FAQ

Can I make the Tiramisu Trifle in advance?

Absolutely! This dessert benefits from being made ahead, allowing the flavors to meld and the ladyfingers to absorb the flavors.

Can I use a different type of liqueur?

If coffee liqueur isn’t available or preferred, consider using a light rum or omitting the alcohol entirely.

Can I substitute whipped topping for the heavy cream?

While whipped topping can be used, heavy cream provides a richer and fresher taste to the whipped layer.
