Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   No baking required — this light dessert is made from ready‑made cake and sauces.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, mix the tropical fruit juice with rum or brandy.

3. 3

   Slice the bananas into rounds, dip them into the prepared mixture and gently toss so they soak through.

4. 4

   Cut the Madeira cake into thin squares, coat them with chocolate sauce and place them at the bottom of four glasses.

5. 5

   Layer the bananas with the rum mixture over the cake, then add a generous spoonful of dulce de leche — this is the next layer.

6. 6

   In a separate bowl, whisk the mascarpone with the chilled custard cream until smooth and spread it over the banana layer.

7. 7

   Place the glasses in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours so the layers meld.

8. 8

   Before serving, grate the dark chocolate into fine shavings and sprinkle them over the tops of the trifles.
