Indulge in the decadent layers of a Tiramisu Toffee Trifle, a stunning no-bake dessert that combines the classic flavors of tiramisu with the irresistible crunch of toffee. This easy-to-make recipe features delicate ladyfingers soaked in aromatic espresso (with a splash of coffee liqueur for extra depth), richly layered with a cloud-like mascarpone cream and sweet, buttery toffee bits. The trifle is artfully finished with a dusting of cocoa powder and optional dark chocolate shavings for a touch of elegance. Perfect for dinner parties or holiday gatherings, this dessert can be prepared ahead of time, allowing the harmonious flavors to meld beautifully. Whether scooped from a grand trifle bowl or served in individual glasses, this crowd-pleasing treat is a showstopper that will leave everyone reaching for seconds.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the mascarpone cheese until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone, one-third at a time, to create a light and creamy mixture. Be careful not to overmix.
In a shallow dish, combine the brewed espresso and coffee liqueur (if using). Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are evenly soaked but not overly saturated.
In a trifle bowl or individual serving glasses, start layering the dessert. Begin with a layer of soaked ladyfingers, breaking them as needed to fit the container.
Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle a handful of toffee bits evenly over the mascarpone cream.
Repeat the layers (ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, toffee bits) until you reach the top of your dish, finishing with a layer of mascarpone cream.
Dust the top layer of mascarpone cream with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve. Optionally, garnish with dark chocolate shavings for added flair.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.
Serve chilled, scooping the trifle into individual portions. Enjoy!
