Ingredients

  • 1 x 175g pack Madeleines
  • 3 tbsp raspberry jam
  • 3 tbsp Amaretto
  • 2 x 225g packs raspberries
  • 150g mascarpone
  • 1 x 500g carton fresh custard
  • 400ml whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp freeze-dried raspberry pieces
  • ½ tbsp white shimmer pearls
  • 1 sheet edible gold or silver leaf (optional)
For the salted caramelised almonds
  • 50g blanched almonds
  • 50g caster sugar
  • ¼ tsp Maldon sea salt
  • 1 tsp butter

Step by step

Get ahead
Make the trifle the day before serving. The caramelised almonds can be made up to a week ahead and stored in an airtight container.
  1. Halve the Madeleines horizontally then sandwich together with the jam. Pack into the base of a 2-litre serving bowl; drizzle with the Amaretto. Scatter in the raspberries.
  2. Tip the mascarpone into a mixing bowl and gradually beat in the custard. Spoon over the raspberries.
  3. Whip the cream to soft peaks; spread thickly over the custard, swirling the top. Cover; chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  4. For the caramelised almonds, place the almonds, sugar, salt, and 2 tsp cold water in a frying pan and mix together. Cook over a medium heat for 6-8 minutes, shaking the pan frequently, until the sugar has dissolved and turned into a golden brown caramel around the nuts. Take the pan off the heat and add the butter. Stir to coat the almonds evenly in the caramel then pour out onto a piece of baking paper and leave to set.
  5. When ready to serve, roughly chop the caramelised almonds and scatter on top of the trifle along with the freeze-dried raspberry pieces and the shimmer pearls. Finish with edible gold or silver leaf for a dash of glamour, if you like.
