150ml limoncello liqueur
250g amaretti biscuits
450g jar lemon curd
400g prepared mango
500g pot fresh custard

- Physalis fruits, edible gold sprinkles (available from waitrose and lakeland.co.uk) and chopped crystalised rose petals, to decorate
- Scatter the Madeira cake cubes over the base of a large trifle bowl. Pour half the Limoncello over the cake, scatter the Amaretti biscuits over the top and then pour over the remaining Limcello.
- Spoon the lemon curd over the biscuits and top with the mango pieces. Stir the passion fruit into the custard and pour it over the lemon curd to cover.
