    Ferrero Rocher and Marsala wine-laced raspberry trifle

    Serves: 6
    Cooking Time: 10 mins

    Instructions

    1

    Add 125g fresh raspberries to a bowl, drizzle over a few tablespoons of Marsala wine and allow to macerate at room temperature, 10 minutes. Add a layer of fresh store-bought custard to the bottom of 6 serving glasses, then add a layer of the raspberries to each glass, followed by a layer of roughly broken store-bought chocolate brownies, a drizzle of Marsala wine and a few more raspberries. Sprinkle over some crumbled store-bought fudge and crumbled Ferrero Rocher chocolates. Top each trifle with a whole chocolate, still partially in its wrapper.
