RASPBERRY, WHITE CHOCOLATE & MASCARPONE TRIFLE

Steps:

• Combine sugar, water and lemon zest in a pan, and continuously stirring, bring to the boil.
• Reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat, add amaretto liqueur, and set aside to cool.
• With an electric mixer, beat together the mascarpone, extra sugar and egg yolks,- be careful not to over-mix or otherwise the mascarpone will “yellow” and become grainy.
• In an absolutely clean and dry bowl with clean and dry beaters, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
• Gently fold through the mascarpone mixture along with the grated chocolate.
• Dip half the quantity of biscuits, one at a time and quickly, into the cooled sugar syrup – if dipped too long they will become mushy!
• Line the base of an 8” x 11” (20cm x 26cm) serving dish with the biscuits.
• Top with half the mascarpone mixture.
• Sprinkle the raspberries over the mascarpone mixture.
• Top with another layer of the biscuits dipped in the sugar syrup, then finish with the remaining mascarpone.
• Sprinkle the almonds over the top and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
