Ultimate trifle
INGREDIENTS

1½ tablespoons powdered gelatine
½ cup (125ml) cold water
2 2/3 cups (660ml) raspberry cranberry juice
8 large (160g) sponge finger biscuits,
split lengthways
1½ tablespoons orange-flavoured liqueur
500g strawberries, hulled, sliced thickly
250g fresh raspberries

mascarpone mixture
3 eggs, separated
½ cup (110g) caster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
500g mascarpone
1 tablespoon orange-flavoured liqueur

METHOD

Sprinkle the gelatine over the cold water in a small bowl; stand for 3 minutes. Microwave the gelatine mixture on MEDIUM (50%) for about 20 seconds or until dissolved (or stand in pan of simmering water until dissolved). Cool slightly. Combine gelatine mixture and juice in a large jug. Pour jelly into either one large or two smaller deep glass bowl/s (2½ litre/10-cup capacity). Refrigerate for about 1½ hours or until almost set.

mascarpone mixture: Beat the egg yolks, half the sugar and all the vanilla bean paste in a small bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat the mascarpone and liqueur in a large bowl with a wooden spoon until well combined. Gently fold in the egg yolk mixture. Beat egg whites and remaining sugar in a clean small bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold egg white mixture into mascarpone mixture.

Brush cut-side of the sponge fingers with liqueur; top jelly with sponge fingers, breaking up to fit dish. Top with half the combined strawberries and raspberries, followed by the Mascarpone Mixture. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for several hours or until firm.

To serve, top with the remaining combined strawberries and raspberries.

The no-diet weight loss strategy that actually worksThe no-diet weight loss strategy that actually works. Strength training for women; the secret to an amazing body at any ageStrength training does not make you 'big'. To get big muscles you need to train a lot, very hard and with very heavy weights and you also need testosterone. This is hard enough for men and extremely difficult for women...

In other words, you’re unlikely to lose a predictable 1 or 2 kilograms per week until you get down to where you want to be.
