1
Set aside a handful of blackberries to use for your garnish. Put half the remaining blackberries in a small blender or food processor with the cordial. Whizz until smooth, then pass through a sieve to remove any pips. Roughly chop the remaining blackberries and stir into the purée; set aside.
2 In a mixing bowl, whisk together the double cream, yogurt and icing sugar until combined.
3 To assemble the trifles, take 4 glasses and spoon the blackberry purée into each one. Add the madeleine quarters then some of the custard and layer the cream mixture on top. Cover and chill for 4 hours, then scatter with the crushed amaretti biscuits and reserved whole blackberries before serving.
COOK’S TIP
For a grown-up dessert, give these trifles an alcoholic kick by adding a splash of blackberry liqueur to the purée.
