Berry Tiramisu Trifle Recipe

A decadent show stopper dessert perfect for Mother’s day, Valentine’s or a spring garden party!

Initially I came up with this recipe out of guilt, as I always make the Italian Tiramisu Cheesecake for myself. But the BatMan is not fond of coffee at all. So I came up with a caffeine free, berry loaded version to keep everyone happy, including the kids. Alcohol free!

Basically I replaced the espresso in the recipe with a homemade blackberry and blueberry sauce to die for!


I dipped the lady fingers in the liquid from the berries, then folded the berries in half of the mascarpone cream cheese mixture. Magic I tell ya !

For the sake of simplicity you can choose to mix the berries with all the mascarpone mixture. I wanted to have different color layers and plenty of time on my hands so the artist in me wanted to express herself.
