These biscuits are packed with almonds and raisins and topped with a hazelnut. They are really delicious and go well with a nice strong cup of coffee. Jump to recipe Pre-heat the oven to 180°C

I love a trifle and I was going to make a traditional sherry one but decided as I had a bottle of Amaretto still half full I would use this up instead.

It is a traditional trifle with cake, fruit, jelly, custard and topped with a generous layer of fresh cream and toasted almonds. You could use sherry if you prefer and whatever fruit you like de
