A light yet indulgent dessert combining bubbly Prosecco, fresh strawberries, and creamy mascarpone layers in a festive tiramisu trifle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 ladyfingers (7 oz / 200 g)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chilled Prosecco (dry or extra dry)
  • 2 cups (about 300 g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup (250 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1/3 cup (40 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of one lemon
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • White chocolate shavings (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 cups (300 g) of fresh strawberries, pat dry, and slice evenly. Set aside about ½ cup (75 g) for garnish.
  2. In a large chilled bowl, beat 1 cup (240 ml) of heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  3. In another bowl, mix 1 cup (250 g) mascarpone cheese, 1/3 cup (40 g) sifted powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture with a spatula, careful not to deflate the cream.
  5. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) chilled Prosecco into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the Prosecco for no more than 2 seconds per side to avoid sogginess.
  6. Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of the trifle bowl.
  7. Spread about one-third of the mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfingers.
  8. Add a generous layer of sliced strawberries.
  9. Repeat soaking ladyfingers, layering cream, and strawberries two more times, ending with a final cream layer on top.
  10. Cover the trifle bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  11. Before serving, garnish with reserved strawberry slices, fresh mint leaves, and white chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

Use chilled heavy cream and a chilled bowl for best whipping results. Dip ladyfingers quickly in Prosecco to avoid sogginess. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor melding. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream and mascarpone with coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese. Gluten-free ladyfingers can be used to make the recipe gluten-free. Optional garnishes include fresh mint and white chocolate shavings.
