Lime and Raspberry Spongey Mess
You really cannot go wrong when you add lime, passionfruit, raspberries and cake...oh and cream, in one delicious messy bowl. Not quite a trifle.
But sort of giving off trifle vibes.
After an easy dessert? Got a sponge cake in the cupboard? (That was a joke…but you can run down to the shops right?) Most of this recipe can be quickly made and kept in the fridge for a desparate occasion…or go ahead, make a plan and make it as though you meant to…but either way? Delicious…go on, tell me all about it.
We do have legit trifle recipes of course, and with homemade jelly!
