Christmas Pudding Trifle

This week your mind may be turning to your Christmas menu and what to create for dessert. We think you would agree no festive table would be complete without a traditional trifle. However if you hold off until boxing day you may just be able to make our trifle with a twist, a perfect way to use up some left over Christmas pudding....
