- Preparation and cooking time
- Prep:
- No cook
- Easy
- Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 madeira cake (about 200g)
- 5 tbsp lemon curd
- 300g raspberries
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp limoncello
- 100g skinless green pistachios, finely chopped
- 400g thick custard
- 300ml double cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
Method
- STEP 1
Cut the madeira cake into 1cm thick slices, and sandwich pieces together using 4 tbsp of the lemon curd. Cut into small squares, and pile into four dessert glasses or one medium trifle dish.
- STEP 2
Mash half the raspberries in a bowl with a fork, and stir in the vanilla and limoncello. Spoon over the sponge. Top with more halved or whole raspberries – saving some to finish – and a scattering of the pistachios.
- STEP 3
Stir most of the remaining pistachios into the custard, then spoon over the fruit and sponge.
- STEP 4
Whip the cream and sugar in a large bowl until thick and billowy, and holding soft peaks. Spoon over the trifles. Top with the reserved pistachios, a swirl of lemon curd and the remaining raspberries.
