Ingredients
1 orange
150g caster sugar
400g rhubarb (trimmed weight), cut into 4cm pieces
4 Asda Trifle Sponges
4 tsp Asda Shredless Orange Marmalade
3 tbsp Cointreau (or orange liqueur or orange juice)
500g pot Asda Extra Special Creamy Custard
250g pot Asda Mascarpone
300ml double cream
Method
1Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. To make the candied zest (for decorating), remove the orange zest using a vegetable peeler, taking care not to include any white pith. Cut into thin strips. Put 50g sugar in a pan with 150ml water and heat until dissolved. Add the zest and simmer for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain and leave to cool.
2Put the rhubarb in a single layer in a shallow greased dish and sprinkle on the rest of the sugar. Add the juice from the orange, cover with foil and cook in the oven for 15 minutes.
3Remove the foil, turn the pieces over and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Leave to cool. Drain and reserve the juice.
4Split the sponges and sandwich with marmalade. Cut each into three pieces and put in the base of a trifle bowl or individual dishes. Mix 5 tbsp rhubarb juice with the liqueur and sprinkle over the sponges. Put the rhubarb on top.
5Mix the custard with the mascarpone and spoon over the rhubarb. Level the top and chill for 20 minutes.
6Whip the cream until it just holds its shape and spread on top. Decorate with candied zest.
