METHOD

The trifle can be made in one large glass serving dish or into individual glasses.

FOR THE JELLY SPONGE LAYER

Break up the raspberry jelly cubes and add 750ml of hot water stir until the jelly cubes have dissolved and add the sherry to this. Set aside and allow to cool to between 25°C to 35°C.

Meanwhile slice the raspberry Swiss roll into 1cm slices. Line the bottom of the dish or glasses with the Swiss roll slices and arrange the raspberrie­s neatly on top of the sponge. When the jelly is cooled pour it over the Swiss roll and raspberrie­s. Place in the fridge for 1 hour until jelly has set.

FOR THE CUSTARD LAYER

Put the milk and cream in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Meanwhile, set a glass bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Snap the white chocolate into the bowl and leave to melt. Put the egg yolks, caster sugar and corn our in a separate bowl and whisk to combine.

Once the cream mixture is up to the boil, pour slowly into the bowl with the yolks, whisking continuous­ly. Return the mixture to the pan along with the yogurt and cook over a gentle heat, whisking until the mixture reaches 85°C on a digital thermomete­r, or the custard has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Pour the custard through a sieve into the melted chocolate and quickly whisk to combine. Pour the custard into a bowl, cover with cling lm and chill in the fridge for an hour or until fully cold.

When the custard is cold spoon it over the set jelly sponge layer and smooth with a spatula.

FOR THE CREAM LAYER

Combine the cream and whole milk natural live yogurt in a bowl and whisk vigorously until soft peaks are formed. Spoon over the custard layer and smooth over with a spatula again.

TOPPING

Arrange the raspberrie­s on top and sprinkle the toasted pistachios over it. Now it’s ready to serve.
