Ingredients

1 Madeira cake (about 200g)
5 tbsp lemon curd
300g raspberries
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp limoncello
50g skinless green pistachios, finely chopped
400g thick custard
300ml double cream
2 tbsp icing sugar

  1. Cut the Madeira cake into 1 cm thick slices and sandwich pieces together using 4 of the lemon curd. Cut into small squares and pile into 4 dessert glasses or one medium trifle dish.

  2. Mash half the raspberries in a bowl with a fork and stir in the vanilla and limoncello. Spoon over the sponge. Top with more halved or whole raspberries - saving some to finish - and a scattering of pistachios.

  3. Spoon the custard over the fruit and sponge.

  4. Whip the cream and sugar in a large bowl until thick and billowy and holding soft peaks. Spoon over the trifles. Top with the reserved pistachios, a swirl of lemon curd and the remaining raspberries.
