Pairing beautifully with a range of flavours, our award-winning Rooibos is an easy way to put an exotic twist on even the most classic desserts. With red espresso® Rooibos, one shot is all you need to infuse your dessert with the essence of Rooibos.
To quote Nigella Lawson, ‘Whatever the question, the answer is trifle.
Place the milk and 1 shot of red espresso® Rooibos in a pot set over medium heat and scald.
Whisk the egg yolks, flour and sugar together.
Remove the milk from the stove and add the egg mixture, whisking very well to beat out any lumps. Return to the stove and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until thick and glossy.
Allow to cool.
Place raspberries and remaining red espresso® Rooibos shot in a small pot and simmer for 5 minutes. Allow to cool.
Slice madeira cake and arrange in the base of a serving dish or individual glasses. Top with raspberry and red espresso® Rooibos mixture and red custard. Place in the fridge for half an hour (or longer) to allow the madeira cake to absorb all the rooibosy goodness.
Top with whipped cream and toasted almonds and serve.
