Grasshopper Tiramisu is the trifle dessert of your dreams!! It’s a scrumptious combination of a classic Italian tiramisu and a grasshopper cocktail, all covered in layers of hot fudge sauce. The best St. Patrick’s dessert ever, this simple no bake recipe takes just 15 minutes to make! Perfect for any chocolate mint dessert lover.
I may have mentioned a time or three how much I love tiramisu’s. The classic Italian dessert features layers of flavors and starts with lady fingers (I prefer the Savoiri cookies) soaked in flavorful alcohol then is topped with an incredible cream mixture that totally blows my skirt up! I am a little bit of a rebel (shocking huh?). So, I really enjoy taking the classic and putting a twist on it.
Grasshopper Tiramisu Trifle
This twist is probably our favorite so far. Lady fingers soak in a Grasshopper cocktail and are crumbled in the bottom of your trifle dish, a layer of hot fudge sauce envelops the grasshopper flavored cookies. A layer of mint flavored cream tops the fudge and then another layer of scrumptious fudge is topped with whipped cream.
It’s truly a dessert that will knock your socks off. Perfect for St Patrick’s Day and EVERYDAY! It is ready in 15 minutes and is perfect for everyone (with alcohol substitutions).
Enjoy!
With love, from our simple kitchen to yours.
