Peach & raspberry trifle

Serves 6-8 Prep 30 mins plus chilling No cook VEGETARIAN

4 peaches, destoned, 1 cut into wedges and the rest chopped

200g raspberries

100ml rum

200ml peach juice

1 madeira cake

2-3 tbsp seedless raspberry jam

250g mascarpone

4 tbsp lemon curd

300ml double cream

1 Mix the chopped peaches with the raspberries, rum and peach juice. Cut the cake into slices and make sandwiches with the jam, then cut these into cubes. Divide the cake cubes between six or eight small glasses and spoon some fruit mixture into each, letting the juice soak into the sponge.

2 Beat the mascarpone and lemon curd together in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whip the cream into soft peaks. Fold half of the cream into the mascarpone mix and spoon some onto the fruit. Whip the cream a little more and finish off the trifles with a spoonful of cream and the remaining peach wedges. Chill until ready to serve.
