Refreshing Lemon Tiramisu Trifle

This trifle dessert showcases layers of lemon-flavored mascarpone cream and coffee-soaked ladyfingers, creating a light and airy treat. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and requires chilling time to set, serving approximately 6-8 people.

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
• 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
• 24 ladyfingers
• Fresh lemon slices and mint for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and well combined.
2. Soak the Ladyfingers: In a shallow dish, mix the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
3. Layer the Trifle: In a trifle dish or individual cups, start with a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Add a layer of the lemon mascarpone cream, then repeat the layers until the dish is filled, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
4. Chill: Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
5. Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves for a pop of color. Enjoy your refreshing lemon tiramisu trifle!
