Instructions
Assemble the base:
- Break the sponge cake into pieces and place on the bottom of a trifle bowl (or individual bowls).
- Place the Sherry and Drambuie in a measuring jug. Heat the jam slightly and add a little of the liquor to make it a bit runny. Pour the jam over the cake evenly.
- Add the crushed biscuits on top of the jam and sprinkle the lemon rind over the biscuits.
- Next, douse the liquor over the top of the crushed biscuits. Leave to soak.
Make the custard:
- Make the custard recipe according to the recipe card, or find the link in the notes below.
- Put the hot custard into a bowl to cool a little, stirring constantly, before adding to the top of the trifle base. Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours).
Top with cream:
- Whip the cream and 1 or 2 tsp of Drambuie. (If desired, you can add some raspberries on top of the custard to add a little more color.)
- Spoon or pipe the whipped cream onto the top of the trifle. Decorate with almonds, raspberries, and mint leaves.
