Berry Tiramisu Trifle

Print Recipe

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

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
  • Fresh 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. Bring to a simmer on low heat, cover, and cook until blueberries pop. Cool, then strain sauce, separating liquid from solids.
  2. Whip heavy cream with 1 tbsp granulated sugar to stiff peaks using a mixer with whisk attachment. Refrigerate until ready to use. In another bowl, cream egg yolks with remaining 4 tbsp sugar, then gradually add mascarpone until incorporated. Fold in chilled whipped cream gently and divide mixture into two bowls. Fold strained berry solids into one bowl and set both aside.
  3. Dip ladyfingers briefly in berry sauce and layer in the bottom of 4 medium glasses or 1 trifle dish. Add a layer of berry mascarpone mixture, followed by plain mascarpone mixture. Repeat layers until ingredients are used up.
  4. Refrigerate for a couple of hours until set. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh blackberries, basil leaves, and lilac flowers if available.

Notes

Use organic free-range eggs for best flavor and safety when using raw yolks. Adjust honey to taste for desired sweetness in the berry sauce. For alcohol-free version, omit any optional liqueurs; this recipe is naturally alcohol-free. Garnish enhances presentation but is optional.
