Mother Teresa's English Trifle


1 lb pound cake (or two depending on the size of your bowl)
*Raspberries ( both fresh and frozen)
One cup of whipping cream
*Fresh strawberries
Custard
Slivered almonds (toasted)

* There are not exact amounts on the berries. It just depends on how big you make your trifle.
Also Peaches are wonderful in season and other types of berries are delicious as well.

Directions:
Begin by making Custard ( I will add the custard recipe in a separate post). Upon completion set custard aside and allow it to cool completely.
Make your whipped cream and once the custard is completely cooled fold in the whipped cream to the custard.
Combine berries in a bowl and sweeten with agave or real maple syrup to taste.
Cut pound cake into one inch cubes
Put half of the pound cake into a trifle bowl. Next, pour about half of the berry mixture on top of the pound cake (add some juice from the berries being careful not to completely saturate the pound cake. Finally spread half of the custard mixture onto the berries and repeat the layers in the same order.
Optional: Sprinkle toasted almonds on top and fresh berries
