Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams sponge cake
- 250 grams fresh strawberries
- 150 grams fresh raspberries
- 100 grams blueberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons orange liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier)
- 300 grams Devonshire cream
- 200 grams whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons chopped toasted almonds
- 6 leaves mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and prepare all the fruits. Hull and slice the strawberries, leaving some whole for garnish. Combine the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries in a bowl and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar and the orange liqueur. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
Cut the sponge cake into 2.5 cm cubes. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, gently fold the whipped cream into the Devonshire cream. Add the vanilla extract and stir until combined.
In a trifle dish or individual serving glasses, assemble the layers: Start with a layer of sponge cake cubes, followed by a generous spoonful of the macerated fruit and juices, then a layer of the Devonshire cream mixture.
Repeat the layers until all the components are used, ensuring the Devonshire cream mixture is the top layer.
Sprinkle the chopped toasted almonds over the top layer of cream and garnish with whole strawberries and mint leaves.
Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
