Limoncello Trifle

SERVINGS: to serve 6

Ingredients

  • 3 oranges
  • 75ml Limoncello
  • 100g sponge fingers
  • 250g marscapone
  • 2 heaped tablespoons icing sugar
  • 100ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 punnet of seasonal fruit, we used raspberries
  • bar of good quality dark chocolate

Instructions

In a good sized serving dish (it will need to fit a single layer of your sponge fingers) squeeze the juice from the oranges. Stir in the Limoncello and taste to check sweetness and alcohol; adjust if necessary. Layer the sponge fingers in the serving dish – they will absorb all the juice.

Put the marscapone and icing sugar into a separate bowl with the milk. Zest the lemon and add to the marscapone and squeeze in the juice of half the lemon. Add the vanilla extract and whisk well. Spread this mixture over the sponge fingers, top with the berries and shave chocolate over the top. Refrigerate until you are ready to eat.
