Ingredients:
– 1 cup of strong brewed coffee cooled
– 8 oz 226g mascarpone cheese
– 10-12 Biscoff cookies or more, depending on the size of your trifle dish
– 1 cup heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks
– 1/4 cup sugar or to taste
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Chocolate shavings or Biscoff spread for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Coffee: Begin by brewing a cup of strong coffee. Allow it to cool completely. For added flavor, consider stirring in a small amount of sugar or sweetener as it brews.
2. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. If you prefer a sweeter taste, feel free to incorporate a little sugar while whipping.
3. Make the Mascarpone Cream Layer: In a separate bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, and sugar. Mix until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined; this creates a light and fluffy cream layer.
4. Assemble the Trifle: In either individual cups or a large trifle dish, start by breaking up Biscoff cookies into pieces and spreading them at the bottom. Lightly drizzle some of the cooled coffee over these cookie pieces, allowing them to soak in a bit.
5. Layer the Cream: Spoon a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture over the soaked cookies. Repeat the layering processcookies, coffee drizzling, mascarponeuntil the dish is filled, ensuring the top layer is mascarpone cream.
