Berry Tiramisu Trifle

A no-bake layered dessert featuring ladyfingers soaked in a homemade berry sauce, alternated with berry mascarpone cream and plain mascarpone whipped cream, chilled and garnished with fresh berries and herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz lady fingers
  • 1/2 lb blueberries
  • 1 lb blackberries
  • 1 lb mascarpone cheese
  • 4 egg yolks, organic free range
  • 5 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream, organic
  • 4 tbsp honey + more to taste
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Basil leaves for garnish
  • Lilac flowers for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, blueberries, lemon juice, vanilla extract, honey, and 2 tbsp water. Simmer on low heat, covered, until blueberries pop. Cool, then strain sauce, separating liquid from solids.
  2. Whip heavy cream with 1 tbsp granulated sugar to stiff peaks; refrigerate. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks with remaining 4 tbsp sugar, then gradually add mascarpone until smooth. Fold in chilled whipped cream. Divide mixture: fold solids from berry sauce into half.
  3. Dip ladyfingers briefly in berry sauce liquid. Layer in glasses or trifle dish: soaked ladyfingers, berry mascarpone mixture, plain mascarpone mixture. Repeat layers until ingredients are used.
  4. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. Garnish with fresh blackberries, basil leaves, and lilac flowers if available.

Notes

Use organic free-range eggs for best flavor and safety in no-bake desserts. Adjust honey to taste based on berry sweetness. Prepare berry sauce ahead for better infusion of flavors. Can be made alcohol-free or add a splash of liqueur to the sauce for adults.
