Easy Christmas pudding trifle

Step 1

Arrange the madeira cake around the base of a trifle bowl. Pour over half the ginger wine, then press the Christmas pudding on top into any gaps. Add the remaining wine, but make sure the trifle doesn’t get too wet. Arrange the mango over the top, then the pineapple.

Step 2

Pour over the custard and smooth using the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the custard to set.

Step 3

Meanwhile, sieve the icing sugar into the double cream and whisk until soft peaks. Pour over the trifle and smooth over.

Step 4

Lightly toast the almonds in a dry frying pan and set aside to cool. Decorate the trifle with the almonds and pared orange zest.
