Baked Raspberry Bramble Trifle With Drambuie Recipes

Steps:

• How To Make Scottish Typsy Laird Sherry Trifle.
• Put the sponge into the bottom of a large glass bowl. Spread the raspberry jam over the sponges.
• Mix the sherry and the drambuie in a glass and then sprinkle the liquid over the sponge base.
• Once the liquid has soaked into the sponge then add a layer of raspberries and the bananas. (Bananas are an optional ingredient and may not appear in many traditional recipes for Typsy Laird.).
• How to make the Egg Custard.
• Make the custard by whisking the egg yolks, the sugar and the vanilla essence until it becomes pale and creamy.
• Add the cream and milk from the custard ingredients to a saucepan and heat the mixture until it reaches boiling point. Stir this into the custard mixture.
• Put this mixture into a new saucepan and stir continuously over a low heat. The mixture should now start to thicken. Once thick pour into a separate bowl and set aside to cool, sprinkle a little sugar over the top to avoid a "skin" forming.
• Once cooled, pour the egg custard over the layered fruit and alcohol soaked sponge. Spread out it out evenly - again, sprinkle with a little sugar to avoid a skin forming.
• Whip the double cream then add the sugar and spoon this mixture onto the custard.
• Decorate with the toasted almonds.

Steps:

• The day before, preheat the oven to fan oven 140C/conventional 160C/gas 3. Tip the raspberries over the base of a large deep, ovenproof dish. Press down lightly with the back of a spoon to release some of the berry juices.
• Cover the raspberries with the slices of cake, then spoon over the Drambuie and orange juice. Leave to soak for 10 minutes.
• Whisk together 600ml of the double cream with the eggs, sugar, orange zest and vanilla extract or essence. Spread the jam over the sponge to cover completely then slowly pour on the custard mixture.
• Sit the dish in a roasting tin with enough hot water to come at least 5cm up the sides. Bake for 1 hour-1 hour 10 minutes, or longer depending on the height and width of the dish. The custard should be just set with a little wobble left in it. Leave to cool then cover with cling film and keep overnight in the fridge.
• To serve, whip the remaining cream until it just holds its shape, then spoon it over the custard. Scatter over the raspberries and toasted shortbread and finish with a dusting of icing sugar.
