Method

Heat 100g caster sugar with 100ml water until dissolved to create sugar syrup.

Cook 1.5kg cherries with 50ml sugar syrup and 50ml brandy for 10 minutes.

Whisk half of the whipped cream together with the custard.

Soak Madeira cake slices in the remaining 50ml brandy and 50ml sugar syrup.

Layer the cherries, soaked cake, and the cream-custard mixture in a serving bowl.

Pipe the remaining whipped cream on top and sprinkle with grated white chocolate.

Melt 100g sugar in a pan until a dark-brown caramel forms and cool the pan base in water.

Dip decorative cherries into caramel, let them cool on a silicone mat, and place on the trifle.
