Bramble & amaretti trifles
SERVES 4
150g (5½oz) blackberries
3tbsp Bottlegreen Bramble
Cordial
100g (3½oz) double cream
100g (3½oz) Greek yoghurt
1tbsp icing sugar
4 madeleines, quartered
200ml (7fl oz) vanilla custard
6 amaretti biscuits, roughly crushed
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, yoghurt and icing sugar until combined.
3 To assemble the trifles, take four glasses and spoon the blackberry purée into each. Add the madeleine quarters, then some of the custard and layer the cream mixture on top. Cover and chill for four hours, then scatter with the crushed amaretti and reserved blackberries before serving.
Chef’s tip: For a grown-up dessert, give these trifles an alcoholic kick by adding a splash of blackberry liqueur to the cordial.
