•1 cup of sugar
•4 tbsp Marsala
•1 cup Mascarpone

 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.

 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.
