Jamie's Lemon Kinda Trifle

By Helen

Main Ingredients:

• Sponge fingers
• Lemon and orange
• Mascarpone cheese
• Raspberries

Since I spent the last five days in a field (and most of today on an almost unbearably hot, smelly train) today's recipe was going to have to be uncomplicated in the extreme. 

Accordingly I squeezed the juice of an orange into the bottom of a dish, added the sponge fingers and topped with a mixture of mascarpone cheese, lemon juice and zest, a little milk and icing sugar. A handful of raspberries and a sprinkling of dark chocolate and we were done!

I was a little sceptical that the result could even be called 'kinda' trifle but this was a real success - the cheese and lemon mixture stood in well for both whipped cream and custard.

The whole thing was refreshing, summery and made to be eaten with a big spoon and a big sunburned smile.

Cost: around £1.20 a head (if you can stop yourself going back for seconds, that is!)
