Ingredients
-
½ cup (125ml) orange liqueur
-
20 small store-bought sponge finger biscuits
- 250g raspberries, to serve
For the raspberry jelly:
- 1.5 litres cranberry juice
- 2 tablespoons gelatine powder
- 1 cup (220g) caster (superfine) sugar
- 3 3⁄4 cups (500g) frozen raspberries
For the chocolate ganache:
- 180g white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 cup (250ml) single (pouring) cream
For the mascarpone cream:
- ½ cup (125g) mascarpone
- ½ cup (80g) icing (confectioner’s) sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 1½ cups (375ml) single (pouring) cream
Method
- To make the raspberry jelly, place 1 cup (250ml) of the cranberry juice in a small bowl. Slowly sprinkle with the gelatine and set aside for 5 minutes or until the gelatine is absorbed.
- Place the remaining juice and the sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to the boil and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the gelatine mixture and whisk to combine. Allow to stand for 20 minutes or until cool.
- Pour into a 4-litre-capacity glass dish and top with the frozen raspberries. Refrigerate for 4–5 hours or overnight until set (see cook’s tips below).
- To make the white chocolate ganache, place the chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and add ¼ cup (60ml) of the cream in a thin, steady stream, stirring constantly until well combined. Allow to cool slightly and refrigerate until just cold.
- Place the remaining ¾ cup (180ml) of cream in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form. Add the cooled chocolate mixture and gently fold to combine.
- To make the mascarpone cream, place the mascarpone, sugar, vanilla and cream in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk until soft peaks form.
- To assemble the trifle, spoon the ganache over the jelly and smooth the top, using a palette knife. Place the liqueur in a small shallow bowl.
- Dip the biscuits in the liqueur and layer them over the ganache. Spoon the mascarpone cream over the biscuits and sprinkle with the fresh raspberries to serve.
