Blackberry Trifle

 Ingredients

• 10 amaretti biscuits, crushed
• 2 teaspoons Grand Marnier, brandy or sherry
• 200g blackberries
• 2 x 500 ml tubs ready-made vanilla custard or make your own
• Extra Grand Marnier
• 1-2 tablespoons caster sugar
• 300ml double cream
• Toasted flaked almonds, to serve

Method 

1. Spoon the crushed biscuits mixture into the base of a glass trifle bowl. Drizzle a little Grand Marnier over the biscuits. Top with the blackberries and then pour over the custard. Chill until ready to serve.

2. To serve, whisk the Grand Mariner and caster sugar into the double cream until it forms soft peaks and spoon on top of the custard. Top with a sprinkling of the almonds. You can't buy double cream in France so I use Elmlea which I bring from the UK or Ireland.
