Indulge in the delightful layers of our Very Berry Trifle, a gluten-free dessert that’s as delicious as it is visually stunning. Perfect for gatherings, family celebrations, or even a cozy night in, this trifle brings together a medley of vibrant flavors and textures that will tantalize your taste buds.

Imagine the sweetness of luscious mixed berries, lovingly folded with rich red cherry jam, creating a fruity base that bursts with flavor in every spoonful. Layered atop, you'll find soft buttery Madeiran cake, soaking up all the deliciousness that surrounds it, providing a wonderful contrast to the creamy custard that follows. Speaking of custard, we enhance it with airy mascarpone cheese, yielding a velvety smooth layer that’s downright irresistible.

The crowning glory? A fluffy sherry-infused whipped cream, adding an elegant touch and a hint of decadence to this already splendid dish. Each bite is a harmonious blend of flavors, from the tartness of the berries to the sweetness of the cream, all contributing to a dessert experience that feels both indulgent and light. Not to mention, you can customize your trifle with your favorite decorations, whether it’s fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or delicate rose petals, making it not only a feast for the palate but for the eyes too.

Whether you're entertaining guests or simply treating yourself, this Very Berry Trifle is sure to become a cherished recipe in your dessert repertoire.
