Gordon shows us how to finish in a hurry with the speedy trifle recipe he featured on Cookalong Live

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 250g mascarpone
  • 3 tbsp icing sugar, plus extra for garnish
  • 4 tbsp cream liqueur
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 1 orange, zest only
  • 200ml double cream
  • Approx 100g panettone
  • 1 tbsp brandy
  • Small piece of dark chocolate to grate

Method: How to make quick Christmas trifle

1. Sift the icing sugar into the mascarpone and whisk together with the cream liqueur, cinnamon and orange zest.

2. In a separate bowl, beat the double cream until three-quarters whipped. Fold the cream into the mascarpone mixture.

3. Cut the panettone into small cubes, place in a large bowl and sprinkle over the brandy. Toss to coat evenly.

4. Place a spoonful of the cream mixture into the bottom of 4 serving glasses/bowls. Layer half the panettone on top, followed by another layer of cream. Scatter over with the remaining panettone. Warm a dessert spoon in some hot water and use it to shape four quenelles of the cream to place on top of each dessert.

5. Finally, dust over a little icing sugar and finish with some grated chocolate.
