Our trifle-misu recipe is a fun hybrid of two of our favourite desserts. It's delicious and easy to make.

Method
- Start by making the compote. Set six of the most attractive berries aside and put the remainder into a pan with the sugar. Cook over a low heat, mix the berries until they fall apart. Bring up to the boil and set aside to cool.
- For the cream put the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Using a handheld electric whisk beat until the mixture balloons is volume and turns extremely thick and pale. In a separate bowl whisk the marsala, vanilla and mascarpone and cream together until stiff. Gently fold the two mixtures together and set them aside.
- Dip 12 of the biscuits into the coffee and break 2 into the base of each glass. Grate the chocolate on top using a fine parmesan or nutmeg grater. Divide half of the compote between the glasses. Followed by half of the cream mixture. Repeat and top with the spare raspberries and a little extra grated chocolate. Chill for 2 hours, or overnight in the fridge. Remove from the fridge 30 mins before serving.
Top tips for making trifle-misu:
- If you have time, it's best to make the trifle-misu the night before so that the flavours fully infuse
- We like the individual servings but you could assemble this in one large trifle dish if you prefer
