Christmas Pudding Trifle

Ingredients

• 3 Orange
• 1 tbs Demerara Sugar
• 2 tbs Grand Marnier
• 300g Christmas Pudding
• 500g Custard
• 250g Mascarpone
• 284ml Double Cream
• Handful Flaked Almonds
• Grated Dark Chocolate

Instructions

1. Using a sharp knife, peel the oranges, removing all the pith. Slice the flesh as thinly as possible and arrange the slices in a single layer on a plate. Sprinkle with the demerara sugar, drizzle over the Grand Marnier, and set aside to macerate.
2. Break the Christmas pudding into large chunks and scatter them evenly over the base of a trifle bowl. Arrange the orange slices on top and pour over any juices from the plate.
3. Beat the mascarpone in a bowl until smooth, then stir in the custard until fully combined. Spoon the mixture evenly over the oranges.
4. Lightly whip the double cream until soft peaks form, then spoon it over the custard layer.
5. Finish by sprinkling with flaked almonds and grated dark chocolate. Chill until ready to serve; the trifle can be prepared up to a day in advance.
