Indulge in a boozy Scottish trifle with luscious fruit and custard layers.
Ingredients:
  • 1 50g pkt flaked almonds
  • 1 300ml container double cream (Allowrie brand)
  • 20.00 gm caster sugar
  • 1 400g pkt bought Swiss roll, cut into 1.5cm-thick slices
  • 160g (1/2 cup) raspberry jam
  • 200ml dry sherry
  • 2-80.00 ml brandy or Drambuie
  • 2 bananas, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 300g (2 punnets) raspberries
  • 250ml (1 cup) milk
  • 150ml double cream (Allowrie brand)
  • 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 1.10 gm vanilla essence
Instructions:
  • In a medium saucepan, gently heat the milk and cream until it almost reaches a boil. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla essence in a large heatproof bowl until thick and pale. Slowly pour in the milk and cream while whisking continuously until well combined. Cook over low heat while whisking until the custard slightly thickens and coats the spoon. Transfer to a bowl and let it cool completely for 2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Spread the almonds on a baking tray and bake until golden, about 3 minutes. Then, set them aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cream and sugar, then whisk until slightly thickened.
  • Layer half of the Swiss roll slices at the bottom of a 3-liter (12-cup) serving bowl. Spread raspberry jam over the slices and add the remaining roll slices on top. Mix sherry and brandy or Drambuie in a jug and pour evenly over the sponge layers. Arrange bananas and raspberries on top. Pour custard over the fruit, then carefully spread sweetened whipped cream over the custard. Chill in the fridge until serving time. Sprinkle almonds on top just before serving.
