During the spring and summer seasons I make a lot of homemade berry trifles for the various picnics and family get-togethers that we attend or personally host. On top of that, these type of desserts are very easy to prepare and during this time of the year you can find great prices on various fresh fruits to use in them.

Today's guest post recipe is courtesy of the great folks over at Bauli Panettone and is courtesy of professional chef Luca Manfè. The recipe will make 4 servings.

Bauli's Panettone Berry Trifle Recipe

1 Panettone
2 cups of Raspberries
1 cup of sugar
4 tbsp Marsala
1 cup Mascarpone
2 cups Custard cream
2 tsp Vanilla extract
2 cups Fresh cream

Cut the Panettone cake into slices eliminating all of the upper crust. Then cut into cubes and place the cut Panettone in glasses. Pour the raspberries into a bowl then marinate with lemon juice, 250 ml sugar and 4 tbsp Marsala wine in a saucepan. Whisk the 250 ml mascarpone cheese until creamy then gradually add in the 500 ml cream and 2 tsp vanilla extract, stirring constantly to properly combine all the ingredients.

Begin the trifle by placing a layer of cake on the bottom of the cup followed by a layer of berries and a layer of mascarpone cream. Finish with whipped cream and add some berries. Put the trifle in the refrigerator for at least an hour. After one hour, it will be ready to serve.

Ingredients for the Mascarpone Cream:

1 cup chilled whipping cream
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup milk

In a stand mixer combine mascarpone, heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in a large metal bowl. With an electric mixer on high, beat until the mascarpone cream starts to seize and thicken. Turn mixer speed to low and slowly drizzle in milk, beating until well combined. Keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
