Ingredients
  

  • 400 g frozen mixed berries
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 lemon juice
  • 500 ml fresh custard
  • 100 g mascarpone
  • 300 ml lemon curd
  • 200 ml cream whipped
  • 300 g trifle sponge cut into squares.
  • 4 meringue nests

Instructions
 

  • In a sauté pan, warm the honey and add the mixed berries with the lemon juice. Cook the berries for 2-3 minutes and set aside to cool.
  • Next, in a bowl, combine the custard, mascarpone, and 50ml of lemon curd.
  • In a third bowl, beat the cream until soft peak.
  • Now, start to build the trifle. You can use a sharing bowl or individual cocktail glasses.
  • Lay a layer of the mixed berries on the base of a trifle bowl add some lemon curd leftover on the edges to create contrast of colours and flavours. Then add a few spoons of lemon custard mixture, and one crushed meringue.
  • Dip a few pieces of sponge in the cooled mixed berry mixture a few second to just slightly soak the sponge, and place over the custard mixture.
  • Layer some more mixed berries, a layer of custard and again with more sponge and fruits until the bowl is nearly full.
  • Set aside in the fridge for a few hours to settle covered with cling film.
  • Just before serving, crush the meringues and decorate the top of the trifle.
  • Decorate with more berries. Serve within a few hours.
