Description

Inspired by Italian tiramisu and British trifle, this red, white, and blue-misu recipe layers whipped mascarpone and cream, angel food cake, and berries.

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
16 ounces mascarpone cheese
5 cups frozen strawberries, thawed
1 1/4 cups frozen blueberries, thawed
1 (9 inch) angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 (4 ounce) bar dark chocolate

Directions

1 Beat cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form; gently fold in mascarpone until well incorporated. Set aside.
2 Place ½ strawberries in a blender; blend until smooth. Transfer puréed strawberries to a large bowl; stir in remaining whole strawberries and blueberries.
3 Layer ⅓ angel food cake cubes in bottom of a trifle or serving bowl. Cover with ⅓ berry mixture; gently spoon ⅓ whipped cream mixture over berries. Repeat layers twice more, ending with cream mixture. Chill until ready to serve.
4 Shave chocolate using a vegetable peeler, letting curls fall on top of dessert.
