    I'm a college student that's new to cooking and found this trifle so simple to make. I also received many compliments from those who ate a piece. Definitely a keeper.

    This dessert was fun to make because I have never used mascarpone cheese before. My boyfriend's family is mostly Italian so I thought I'd get an honest opinion on this dessert.
    The result: a success!
    But I thought the taste could've been a bit more evident or stronger.
    We added a cup of whipped cream to smooth out the cheese and maybe the addition of the whipped mellowed out the mascarpone taste.

    I made this for family get together. Very fast and easy to make especially when its hot summer weather and you don't want to use oven. Turned out great and it was gone in no time. My step-son especially liked it. The lemony mascarpone cheese was light and fluffy and refreshing. Am looking forward to trying more of Giada;s recipes.

    I added the lemon sugar mixture after it was cool to the mascarpone and it proceeded to curdle. Had to abort. Mary Ann

    I loved this recipe for the freshness and ease of preparation, the full flavor, and the fact that it is not too sweet. It is, however, too dry. I couldn't find the cassis, but used triple sec and it was delicious. I added whipping cream to the cheese because it just wasn't light enough, and used twice the amount of liqueur and it was still way too dry. I added more liqueur when serving and it helped. Next time, I'll mix some simple syrup with the liquer and really douse the cake during preparation.

    This was a nice fresh dessert, couldn't find the cassis so I used pomegran and still turned out nice. Fresh strawberries are always a favorite and the zest really put a nice touch on the mascarpone.

    this was very good but it was better the next day.I used cream cheese because mascarpone is too expensive.I just couldn't see paying 8$ for a very small dessert, not counting the cake, berries and liqueur.I will make this again because it was a hit.

    Well, let me just tell you that even thought I changed this recipe around alot, it just wasn't everyones favorite. I used cream cheese because I don't like Mascarpone cheese and I used black berry for the alcohol cuz that' what I had on hand and I doubled the recipe cuz with Giada's it didn't seem to be enough It was good, but just not that good that I would be putting my time and effort and expense in doing it again at least anytime soon. Sorry,,

    I absolutely love making this for guests. For as simple as it is, it looks like you've been preparing it all day and the guests just rave about it! I especially like making this when the strawberries are in season! I also add blueberries to give it the "red, white and blue" theme for 4th of July gathings!

    A couple tips for those of you who thought it was too dry. I actually double the recipe for a larger triffle bowl and so when I put the pound cake in, I actually dip the pieces in the Creme de Cassis so it absorbs a little more. Also when adding the lemon syrup to the mascarpone cheese, I just fold it in so the cheese doesn't get too firm and is easily spreadable. Give those a try and I think you will really enjoy this!
