Instructions

For the custard
1. In a bowl, whisk together the yolks, sugar and cornflour.
2. Place the Lactofree dairy drink in a pan and bring to the boil. Pour over the egg yolk mixture, stirring well.
3. Pour the mixture into a clean pan and bring slowly to the boil, stirring all the time. Reduce heat and gently simmer for 1 minute or until thickened.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

For the trifle
1. Make the gelatin by following the instructions on the the packet. Pour into a dish and leave (takes a long time to set so best to do it day before you make the trifle). Once the gelatin is set, roughly chop.
2. Put 2 pieces of the sponge into the bottom of each glass, or do a good lining of sponge roll in a big bowl.
3. Drizzle with the sherry and pour over half of the custard.
4. Spoon the gelatin over the custard, then add the mandarins.
5. Cover with the rest of the custard, drizzle with a little vanilla, and cover with the whipped cream.
6. For decoration, finely grate the dairy-free chocolate over the top. Alternatively, use cake sprinkles, so long as they contain no dairy.

Leave to stand for a hour before serving, then tuck in and enjoy with all the family!
