CHOCOLATE, MADELEINE & RASPBERRY TRIFLE
This one’s more than a trifle special, if you’ll mind the pun. And better still, you can make it in mere minutes.
| Serves: | 10-12 |
| Preparation time: | 20 minutes (plus time in the fridge) |
You will need:
Ingredients:
- CLASSIC FRENCH MADELEINES
1 pack Mrs Crimble’s Classic or Chocolate Madeleines
75g good quality plain or dark chocolate (plus a little extra grated for decoration)
500g tub of fresh vanilla custard
500g mascarpone
500g frozen raspberries – thawed and drained – keep the juice!
Method
- Halve all the madeleines lengthwise, then use half of them in the bottom of a glass serving bowl. Pour over half of the raspberry juice and top with half of the raspberries.
- Spread the mascarpone over the top.
- Pop the rest of the madeleines on top in another layer, followed by the rest of the juice and raspberries.
- Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Leave it to cool slightly, then stir in the custard and pour it over the trifle layers.
- Put it all in the fridge to set for 3-4 hours or overnight, if you can wait that long.
- Decorate with a little extra grated chocolate or fresh raspberries and whipped cream – whatever takes your fancy, poppet.
