What’s more classically British than a lovely trifle recipe? Whether you’re hosting a special occasion, need a pudding to take to a barbecue or just want something tasty to serve up for the family this weekend this spring dessert recipe is just the ticket.
Plus, if you’re worried about serving up a heavy dessert and are looking for something a bit healthier, this trifle uses ricotta cheese to make it that bit lighter.
It’s a great way to make the most of the strawberry season from May too. Adding a splash of framboise to the mix really ramps up that brilliant strawberry taste too and make a wonderful combination when the sponge fingers soak up those lovely juices.
This recipe serves up to 10 people and can be prepped in advance so it’s a great one to make up if you’re entertaining and want something you know everyone will love!
