RECIPE: Kahlua Tiramisu Trifle

Jump to Recipe icon  Tiramisu is always a great finish to a hearty Italian meal, but what do you do if you are English and craving this decadent dessert? Why, you make it into a trifle!

Christmas High Tea is an annual tradition at the White Rose Manor. Each year, an English Trifle takes its rightful place on the serving table along side the Marinated Lamb with Mint Sauce. For fun, we experiment with different flavours as well as modify traditional desserts to fit the trifle theme. Here is the tiramisu version for you to enjoy! Individual serving size assembly is noted at the end.

INGREDIENTS
6 egg yolks
1.25 (1 ¼) C. Sugar
1.25 (1 ¼) C. Mascarpone Cheese
1.75 (1)¾ C. heavy Whipping Cream
2.5 (12 ounce) packages Ladyfingers
0.33 (⅓) C. Kahlua, or other coffee-flavoured liqueur (regular espresso/strong coffee for non-alcoholic version)
1 tsp. unsweetened Cocoa Powder, for dusting
1 (1 ounce) square semisweet Chocolate, for chocolate curls garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1
Add water to base of bain maire (double boiler). Combine Egg Yolks and Sugar in the top of a bain marie. Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, constantly stirring. Remove from heat and whip until thick.

Step 2
Add Mascarpone Cheese to whipped egg yolk mixture Beat until combined. In a separate bowl, beat Whipping Cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into yolk mixture and set aside.

Step 3
Line the bottom and sides of a large glass bowl with Ladyfingers. Brush with Kalua, other Coffee Liqueur, Espresso or strong Coffee. Spoon half of the cream filling over the Ladyfingers. Repeat process (Ladyfingers and Coffee Liqueur) until bowl is almost filled. Garnish with a sprinkling of Cocoa Powder. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.

Step 4
Just prior to serving, garnish with Chocolate curls. To make the Chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and shave the edge of the chocolate bar onto a piece of parchment paper, then sprinkle as the finishing touch on the trifle.

INDIVIDUAL SERVING SIZE: Broken Ladyfingers? Smaller guest list? Here is an alternate serving suggestion–make individual servings instead of using a trifle bowl. To assemble, place broken ladyfingers into the bottom of individual serving bowls, add coffee flavour of choice, then a layer of the cream filling. Garnish with cocoa powder, chocolate curls, and stand two ladyfingers for the finished dessert.

Wonderfully yours,

Alice
