Description
A festive and delicious Christmas Blueberry Tiramisu Trifle that combines layers of ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese, and fresh blueberries, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 package (7 ounces) ladyfinger cookies
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries and 1/4 cup of sugar. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring gently until the blueberries start to burst and release their juices. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a shallow dish, mix the cooled coffee with the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar and vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, and ground cinnamon. Whip until soft peaks form.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of a trifle dish or individual serving glasses.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, followed by half of the blueberry mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and blueberries.
- Dust the top layer with cocoa powder. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- For a festive touch, add a splash of orange liqueur to the coffee mixture.
- Substitute the blueberries with raspberries or strawberries for a different flavor profile.
