Angel Food Tiramisu Trifle

½ cup brewed espresso

¼ cup sugar

2 tablespoons coffee liqueur

2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur

8 ounces mascarpone

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons heavy cream

2 cups cubed angel food cake

¼ cup finely chopped dark chocolate

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the espresso and sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely. Stir in the liqueurs.

In a small bowl, gently stir together the mascarpone, honey and heavy cream. Be careful not to overmix.

Divide half the angel food cubes between 4 parfait glasses or flutes. Drizzle with half of the espresso syrup. Spoon half the mascarpone over the cake. Sprinkle with half the chopped chocolate. Repeat the layering with the remaining cake cubes, syrup, mascarpone and chocolate.

Serves four.
