We had that for our wedding cake, :)- White chocolate with raspberry I mean. Trifle would have been more scooping than slicing, :lol:

I have a great recipe for a ginger and orange pud and it's REALLY quick and easy.

Get 2 packets of ginger nut biscuits (might be a prob finding them!!)
some orange juice and cointreau (cointreau optional)
whip up some heavy cream ( i guess you could use cool whip but I've never tried it)

all you do is dip each biscuit in to the orange juice and cointreau and then sandwich together with the whipped cream.
place the "sandwiched" ginger nuts together into a couple of long rolls and cover with more cream. Leave in fridge for a couple of hours so that the ginger biscuits go a bit soggy and then sprinkle with shaved chocolate before serving.:)

Mmmm - that does sound nice - I buy ginger snaps (which seem pretty much the same as ginger nuts) in central market or tom thumbs - they seem pretty readily available. My son takes a few in his lunch box to school - his mates seem to be liking them as well!

I used to do something similar with Mr Kipling's ginger cake. Putting pieces of mandarin oranges in with the cream is also nice.

FFS, the recipe spells Maldon incorrectly...:rolleyes:

Also, have you made the recipe before? Do you need to use a candy thermometer?

Aye - made it about 4 times before (most recently on Friday night). I do have a candy thermometer but I suppose you don't really need one. Stirring for about 30 minutes on medium heat should do the trick. As long as it is pretty viscous and is coming away from the sides of the pot when you are stirring it. I made an arse of it one time using pecans instead of walnuts but nobody seemed to notice/care/mind. They are pretty addictive.
