Add a comment on Digestive Trifle

Crumbled Glutafin digestives or Glutafin Biscuits combined with almond caramel praline and layered with raspberries folded into a creamy sherry custard. Definitely one for the adults! The praline may be made in advance and the trifle made up to 2 hours before serving.

Makes:

Ingredients

110g/4oz Glutafin Digestive Biscuits OR Glutafin Biscuits
225g/8oz Caster sugar
60ml/4 tbsp Water
75g/3oz Flaked almonds
142ml/5floz Double cream
45ml/3 tbsp Sweet cream sherry
250g/9oz Mascarpone cream cheese
225g/9oz Fresh raspberries, washed, drained and patted dry on kitchen towel

Method

1. Prepare the caramel. Place sugar into a small solid based pan and pour over water. Stir over a gentle heat until all the sugar has melted. Increase heat and cook for a further 5 – 6 minutes until the sugar syrup goes from a clear liquid to a pale golden brown. Keep watching as the mixture can burn very quickly once it starts to change colour.

2. Meanwhile spread almonds out into an approximate 20cm/8” square on a sheet of baking parchment paper. Rest this on a chopping board. Once caramel has browned pour onto the almonds and leave for about 10 minutes to set and go hard.

3. Snap off 4 small decorative pieces of caramel for garnish. Place remainder in a sturdy freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin to crush or whizz in a food processor. Likewise make Glutafin digestives/biscuits into crumbs by bashing or processing. Combine crushed praline and biscuits.

4. When ready to prepare trifle whisk double cream, sherry and mascarpone together using a balloon whisk or electric whisk to give a soft dropping consistency. Fold in the raspberries saving a few for garnish.

5. Place a spoonful of sherry custard into the bottom of each individual serving dish and sprinkle with the praline biscuit mix. Repeat layering to the top of the dish. Garnish with the reserved praline and raspberries. Chill until required.
