How to Make Tiramisu Trifle
- Prepare the coffee mixture: In a shallow dish, combine ½ cup strong brewed coffee and ¼ cup coffee liqueur (Amaretto or Kahlua recommended).
- Whip the mascarpone and custard: In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces mascarpone cheese with 3 cups ready-made vanilla custard (or homemade/instant pudding prepared according to package directions) until smooth and creamy using an electric hand mixer.
- Layer the trifle: Dip about ⅓ of a package (approximately 10-12) ladyfingers into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are lightly soaked but not soggy. Arrange them in the bottom of a glass trifle bowl or serving dish.
- Add chocolate and mascarpone layer: Sprinkle ½ cup of shaved chocolate over the ladyfingers. Top with ⅓ of the mascarpone mixture.
- Repeat layers: Repeat steps 3 and 4 twice more, ending with a layer of mascarpone mixture.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
- Garnish and enjoy: Just before serving, sprinkle with ¼ cup sliced almonds and the remaining ½ cup shaved chocolate. Serve chilled and savor each delightful spoonful!
