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.

By cooking the berries together first it intensifies their flavor, and gives me the most amazing syrup to dip the ladyfingers in.

You can build individual tiramisu trifles if you like, or just make one large trifle dish in a footed dessert bowl (<– amazon), for everyone to share.

It wouldn’t be me if i hadn’t garnished with some pretty blossoms and fresh basil, but you can skip that if you like and add your own finishing touch. 

Tough lady fingers are the traditional way to go when making Tiramisu, you could also use Italian Panettone (<– amazon), or even pound cake. And If you are having a grown up party you could dip them in Kahlua.

Note worthy: I heard some of you could not find mascarpone cheese in your area. So sorry to hear that, because mascarpone cheese is one of a kind awesomeness. But, don’t let that hold you back from making this berry tiramisu trifle. Just use a smooth nice cream cheese as a substitute. I know it isn’t quite the same, but definitely beats not making it at all, right ?

  1. This recipe looks so yummy and perfect for spring! I have not made it yet, but a fun option to doctor it up with a little alcohol could be to drizzle a little Luxardo Cherry Liquor on the lady fingers.

    OMG!!!!! Are you kidding me???? Tiramisu is my most FAVORITE dessert of all time. We have an assortment of organic berries in our yard. We are strictly organic/non GMO in EVERYTHING we do. I will definitely make this for Easter or Valentine’s Day, my favorite holiday. Thanks for the recipe!

    I made this and it was outstanding! the only thing I would do different is omit the honey! I will make it again for sure!

    1. Honestly I’ve never made it without the raw eggs. I always use organic, free range wholesome eggs. I would say just try it without the egg, use powder sugar instead to mix together with the mascarpone cheese. I’m sure it will be delish still ~ Florentina
