Method

  1. 1 Line the bottom of 4 small glass serving dishes with the cake. Mix ½ the Disaronno with 6 tbsp of reserved juice, then divide this between the bowls. Arrange apricots on top of the sponge, then pour on custard. Cover and chill for at least 10 mins, or up to a day.
  2. Just before serving, add the remaining Disaronno to the cream and whip until it just holds its shape. Spoon over the custard and sprinkle with flaked almonds.

    Used a home made almond sponge I had in the freezer, peaches rather than apricots, and no booze. Perhaps my pud was more inspired by this recipe than a recreation of it. Nevertheless it was really good - trifles are always more than the sum of their parts and this is no exception. If you don't have almond cake then I suppose you'd need the Disarrono to give the flavour.

    I'm not a huge trifle fan, but did this just after Christmas and it was devoured very quickly. Can't believe the calories though!
