Yield
12 servings


Ingredients
1 tub mascarpone cheese, or 2 - 8 oz pkgs cream cheese 500 g
1/2 cup sugar 125 mL
2 egg yolks 2
1/4 cup brandy or orange juice 50 mL
1 Tbsp lemon juice 15 mL
1 1/2 tsp vanilla 7 mL
1 1/2 cup whipping cream 375 mL
2 pkgs frozen, unsweetened raspberries or mixed berries 600 g
2 pkgs ladyfingers (halved lengthwise) or 1 pound cake thinly sliced 2 pkgs
1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 15 mL
1/2 cup fresh raspberries 125 mL


 
Thaw berries in colander, reserve juice, set aside. Beat mascarpone or cream cheese with sugar in bowl. In separate bowl set over hot water, beat egg yolks with whisk for ~ 3 minutes or until pale and thickened. Beat into cheese mixture. Stir in brandy or orange juice, lemon juice and vanilla. Whip ½ cup (125 mL) of the whipping cream and fold into cheese mixture. Line bottom of 8 cup glass trifle bowl with ladyfingers and brush lightly with 3 Tbsp (45 mL) of the berry juice. Pour in 1/3 of the cheese mixture and spread to cover ladyfingers. Sift 1 tsp (5 mL) of cocoa over top of cheese mixture. Sprinkle 1/3 of the berries, pressing some against glass to show through. Repeat cheese mixture, cocoa and berries. Line bowl with remaining ladyfingers, brush lightly with berry juice and top with remaining cheese mixture. Cover lightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Whip remaining 1 cup (250 mL) whipping cream and mound over trifle, leaving rim of cheese mixture visible. Dust rim lightly with cocoa powder and garnish with shaved chocolate and/or fresh raspberries.

Time saving tip: Use 2 pkgs. of instant vanilla pudding instead of cheese mixture and fold in the ½ cup (125 mL) of whipping cream.
