Gordon Ramsay’s summer fruit trifles

Serves: 4

Total time: 25 -30 mins
(plus cooling time)

Ingredients

200g strawberries, hulled and quartered
600g other mixed berries (e.g. blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
3tbsp caster sugar
100g amaretti biscuits
600ml good-quality ready-made vanilla custard, chilled

Method

Put the berries and sugar in a non-stick pan and heat gently for a few minutes until the fruit begins to soften.

Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool completely. Using a slotted spoon, remove a spoonful of fruit for the topping and set aside.

Place the amaretti biscuits in a deep bowl and lightly crush with the end of a rolling pin.

Reserving a handful, tip the rest into a large glass bowl (or divide among individual glasses.)

Spoon half the custard over the amaretti, followed by half of the fruit compote. Repeat these layers and top with a sprinkling of crushed amaretti and the reserved fruit to serve.
