Ingredients
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding
- 1 3/4 cup milk
- 4 ounces mascarpone cheese room temperature
- 1 cup coffee cold, divided
- 2 Tablespoons rum optional
- 1 package ladyfingers about 7 ounces or 1/2 angel food cake
- 1 cup whipped topping
- unsweetened cocoa powder or bittersweet chocolate curls to garnish
Instructions
- Get your trifle dishes ready. This recipe makes enough for 2 individual trifle cups or 4 half pint mason jars. If you are using a full size trifle bowl then double the recipe.
- Add the pudding to a bowl along with the milk and whisk until combined.
- Add 4 Tablespoons of cold, strong coffee to the pudding mix and stir. Refrigerate the coffee flavored pudding for 10 minutes or so until it is soft set.
- Add the mascarpone cheese to the pudding mix and use an electric mixer to incorporate it into the pudding. Beat until it is smooth and creamy.
- Break the ladyfingers into 3 or 4 pieces each or cut the cake into small squares about 1/2 inch sized.
- If you are using rum then mix it into the coffee that remains.
- Cover the bottom of a trifle cup with a single layer of cake pieces or ladyfingers.
- Drizzle a few tablespoons of the coffee mixture over the cake pieces. Make sure not to drench them, just get them wet.
- Cover the cake pieces with a layer of the mascarpone mixture.
- Repeat each layer one more time, filling the dish.
- Finish the trifle with some whipped topping and sprinkle with cocoa powder or grated chocolate.
- Store the trifles in the refrigerator until time to serve.

Notes
- The mascarpone needs to be at room temperature and the coffee should be cold. You can use espresso powder or instant coffee to make the coffee.
- You can skip the rum or use a different type of alcohol such as a sweet wine or brandy.
