Triamasu Recipe / Easy Triamasu Trifle Recipe in Glass

'Triamasu' is a popular and classic Italian dessert made with arranging lady finger(finger shaped sponge biscuit) / sponge cake and mascarpone cheese filling with a touch of alcohol.   The one i have prepared here is not a classic version.  As i dint have enough time to search for lady fingers and mascarpone cheese i planned to make it simple by using Marie biscuits for the base with cream cheese filling.

This is quite easy and simple and you cannot compromise on  taste.  I arranged in individual glasses for easy serving.  Triamasu can also be layered as a form of cake.
It has perfect balance of sweet filling and a slight bitterness of coco powder.

Note:

• Be sure to use the glass that fits the biscuits in, or else using a cutter trim and  reduce the circle size.
