  • 3tbsp amaretto or sherry (or orange juice)
  • 300g tub light cream cheese
  • 8tbsp condensed milk
  • 2-3tsp vanilla extract
  • 200ml tub half-fat crème fraîche
  • 20g toasted flaked almonds

Method

    Really not a very nice trifle, in fact most store bought ones out there are better. There are plenty of better recipes out there than this one. Steer clear unless you want to be disappointed.
