How to Make Strawberry Chocolate Mascarpone Trifle

  1. Chill one large (8 cup) glass bowl and one medium glass bowl for 20 minutes.
  2. In the large bowl, beat together 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and the zest of 1 orange until smooth and creamy.
  3. In the medium bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, with 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (optional).
  6. Cut a 6-inch round cake into 1/2-inch slices.
  7. Arrange half of the cake slices in the bottom of the chilled 8-cup glass bowl.
  8. Top with half of the sliced strawberries and their juice/liquor mixture.
  9. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the strawberries.
  10. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated semi-sweet chocolate.
  11. Repeat layers: cake, strawberries, mascarpone mixture, chocolate.
  12. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, or up to 12 hours, to allow flavors to meld.
