Trifle "Tiramisu with strawberries"
Trifle is a dessert made from biscuit dough or cookies (often soaked in wine or coffee) with custard and various additives - berries, fruits. The more layers you get, the tastier and more beautiful the dessert looks. In the photo I have this dessert prepared with homemade savoiardi, but the recipe can be greatly simplified using ready-made savoiardi, which can be easily bought at the store. The most difficult thing here is to wait until the dessert is infused in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
Servings 4- 1/3 cup corn starch (1 cup = 200 ml)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1 vanilla pod
- 250 g of mascarpone
- 250g vanilla pudding (which we make ourselves)
- 250 g strawberries
- 50 g chocolate (any to your taste)
- 1 small package of savoiardi cookies (or bake your own)
- 1/2 cup espresso
- 2 tbsp. l. liqueur or wine of your choice (Amaretto is very suitable)
Cooking
Step 1
Cooking vanilla pudding. We mix all the ingredients in a heat-resistant bowl, very carefully, with a whisk or mixer. From the vanilla, you should first scrape the seeds and throw them into a bowl, and then, after stirring, send the pod there. We put the bowl in a water bath and cook with regular stirring for about 15-20 minutes, until the mixture thickens. See photo for how it should look.
Step 2
Collecting trifle. We cool the pudding in the refrigerator, set aside the amount we need and mix with mascarpone.
Step 3
Cut strawberries into slices.
Step 4
We rub the chocolate on a coarse grater. Brew strong coffee and mix it with your favorite alcohol.
Step 5
Laying layers: 1 layer: cookies, which we quickly dip in coffee. 2 layer: strawberries. 3 layer: grated chocolate. 4 layer: mascarpone with pudding. We repeat the required number of times. Put in the refrigerator for several hours (at least four). I prepared part of the trifle in cups, and part in bowls, which also turned out very nice
