Trifle Ta' Marija
INGREDIENTS
Vanilla custard
Mixed berry fruits
Crushed Amaretti biscuits
Almond liqueur
Ladyfingers or Boudoir biscuits
Whipped cream
Crushed nuts
METHOD
1. Take a large, deep glass bowl (so you can
see those beautiful layers!). Line the very
bottom with a snug layer of ladyfingers
and a scatter of mixed berries.
2. Generously sprinkle the ladyfinger base
with your almond liqueur. You want the
biscuits to soak it up and soften, but not
become completely soggy.
3. Scatter a generous layer of crushed
almond biscuits directly over the soaked
ladyfingers. is creates that wonderful
contrast of textures between the soft
sponge and the nutty crunch.
4. Spoon over a thick, generous layer of
vanilla custard, smoothing it out to the
edges of the glass bowl to seal the layers
underneath.
5. Dollop the freshly whipped cream over
the top of the custard. For a beautiful
finish, you can pipe it or use the back of
a spoon to create rustic, fluffy peaks.
6. Place the trifle in the refrigerator for at
least 4 to 6 hours (or ideally, overnight).
is resting time is the secret to a great
trifle—it allows the biscuits to soften,
the liqueur to mellow, and the flavours
to marry together perfectly.
