Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

250g bag frozen mixed berries

40g golden caster sugar

100g Madeira cake, sliced

100ml mascarpone cheese

250ml tub vanilla custard

150ml double cream, softly whipped 

METHOD:

1. Place the berries and sugar in a saucepan over a low heat and simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.

2. Place a layer of madeira cake at the bottom of a trifle bowl or divide between 4 glasses, and spoon 2/3 of the berry mix on top.

3. In a mixing bowl whisk together the mascarpone, and vanilla custard until smooth but make sure it doesn’t get to runny, you want it to remain slightly thick. Spoon on top of the cake and berries, followed by the whipped double cream.

4. Chill for a couple of hours in a fridge and just before you serve pour the remaining berries on top.
