Ingredients

• 24 pieces Ladyfingers (savoiardi biscuits)
• 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 1 cup Fresh raspberries
• 1 cup Orange juice (for soaking ladyfingers)
• 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated. Set aside.

Step 3

Pour the orange juice into a shallow bowl. Dip each ladyfinger quickly into the orange juice, being careful not to let them soak too long to avoid sogginess.

Step 4

In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of the dish.

Step 5

Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it with a spatula.

Step 6

Scatter a layer of the mixed summer berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) over the mascarpone layer.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process—ladyfingers, mascarpone, berries—until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of berries.

Step 8

Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of vibrant color and added freshness.
