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!

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.
