my mums trifle by

Makes approx 10 individual desserts. Use small water/brandy glasses.

4 almond friands – patisserie bought ones
1 box of Turkish delight
1 french almond nougat bar
1 punnet blueberries
1 punnet strawberries
1 punnet raspberries
1 peach
2 plums
1 litre thick custard
500g marscarpone cheese
250ml thick cream

Wash all fruit (let dry as much as possible) and cut into small pieces approx 1-2cm pieces. Cut almond friands, turkish delight and nougat into 1-2cm squares.
Mix with an electric mixer the custard and marscarpone until well blended.

Start layering your ingredients into the glasses, (the friands make a good base) layers of the custard mixture and cream alternate between the fruit, cake, nougat and Turkish delight. It doesn’t matter really if you just chuck it all in together. Enjoy! (don’t think about the calories!) It is after all, only a trifle thing!

  • Substitute other fruits depending on the seasons.
  • Marinating the strawberries in vodka or grand marnier or a liqueur would also be great – only if you have time!
