White Chocolate and Raspberry Trifle

This is my favourite all-time Dessert! I absolutely love this and could pretty much eat the whole thing to myself.

Tips: 

- It says it serves 6 but there's always a lot left over, perhaps make smaller versions in small glass bowls

- For the topping, once the raspberries are washed, leave them to dry on a kitchen towel, this prevents soggy trifle

- Use any fruit you like, but I always prefer raspberries!

You will need
225g/8oz white chocolate

1. The day before, put 50g white chocolate in the fridge to chill, then roughly chop the rest of the chocolate.

   Put the mixture back into the pan and stir with a wooden spoon on a low heat until it thickens.
2. Take the pan from the heat and add the chopped chocolate.
   Stir in to melt, the leave the custard to cool.

   Cover with 300g of fresh raspberries and the raspberry coulis, then pour over the cooled custard and leave to set.
