Method

  1. Mix the berries and cherry jam together, and spoon into your trifle bowl. Scatter over the Madeira cake and push down a little into the berries.
  2. Put the custard, mascarpone and 3 tbsp sugar in a bowl together and beat until smooth, then dollop all over the trifle. Put the double cream, remaining 2 tbsp sugar and sherry in a bowl and beat until soft peaks form. Cling film both the trifle bowl and cream and chill until ready to serve. You can do this up to 24 hours in advance.
  3. To serve, spoon the sherry cream all over the trifle, then scatter with your favourite decoration.

    This was the first trifle I have ever made and it went down a storm on Christmas Day. I had so many compliments and was asked to make it again for New Year's Eve ! Definitely worth doing and took no time at all to make.

    We all loved this recipe. I raspberry jam (to save buying another jar) and it was truly lovely. The mascarpone and custard mixed together is to die for ! My only change next time would perhaps be slightly more jam to help the berries & juices fully soak into the madeira cake. A great success, my mother in law has just emailed me for the recipe link and my non trifle loving husband even loved it.
