Raspberry and Limoncello Trifle

Madeira cake spread with lemon curd, dosed with limoncello liqueur and all topped off with raspberries and a mascarpone custard – the perfect end to the perfect meal.

  • Vegetarian
Preparation time:
15 minutes
Serves:
 8

Ingredients

  • Waitrose Madeira Cake
  • 2 tbsp Waitrose Seriously Zesty Lemon Curd
  • 2 tbsp Santa Marta Limoncello Liqueur
  • 300g pack Waitrose Frozen British Raspberries, defrosted
  • 250g pack Galbani Italian Mascarpone
  • 500g tub essential Waitrose Custard
  • 300 ml tub essential Waitrose Whipping Cream
  • 2 tbsp pistachio nuts, chopped

Method

  1. Cut the cake into six slices, then spread each slice with lemon curd and make 3 'sandwiches'. Slice each pair into quarters, then place in a 2-litre glass bowl. Drizzle the cake with limoncello. Scatter the raspberries over the cake, reserving a few for decoration.
  2. Using an electric mixer, gently whisk the mascarpone and custard together until smooth. Spread the custard over the raspberries. Whip the cream until the whisk leaves a soft trail, then spread on top of the custard. Scatter the top of the trifle with the pistachios and the reserved raspberries.

I have now made this trifle four or five times and everytime my guests have enjoyed it, but my top tip is to double the amount of Limoncello!

The picture of this trifle looked so enticing that I couldn't wait to make it for the family over Christmas,but I was disappointed because it was quite dry and I think perhaps another glug or two of limoncello would have made it more satisfying!

Great recipe, has gone down very well. Looks great in a small individual glasses, with a shot glass of limoncello on the side.

Everyone loved this as an alternative to Christmas pudding on Christmas day especially when served with a glass of Limoncello on the side. We used the more expensive vanilla custard which worked well. And next time we will double the Lemoncello and extend the soaking time for the maderia cake plus add more raspberries.
