The Lamington and Cherry Ripe Trifle is a modern and extravagant twist on two classic Australian sweets - Lamington and Cherry Ripe candy bars. The lamington fingers are soaked in sweet and tangy raspberry jelly, layered with chocolate pudding, and topped with whipped cream and chunks of Cherry Ripe candy bars to add layers of texture and flavor. This dessert is perfect for those with a sweet tooth and is an ideal addition to any occasion or celebration.

Instructions

1.	Begin by dissolving the raspberry jelly crystals in boiling water following the package instructions. Once dissolved, stir in with cold water and set aside in the fridge to cool.
2.	Prepare the chocolate pudding mix by whisking milk and pudding mix together until fully combined and set aside in the fridge.
3.	In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the thickened cream until soft peaks form. Then add in the icing sugar and mix until stiff peaks form.
4.	To assemble, place the cut lamington fingers at the bottom of a large glass trifle bowl. Pour the raspberry jelly over the lamingtons and spread evenly.
5.	Then add a layer of chocolate pudding on top of the jelly and spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the chopped Cherry Ripe candy bars on top of the chocolate pudding.
6.	Add another layer of lamington fingers on top of the candy layer, followed by another layer of raspberry jelly. Repeat the layer of chocolate pudding and sprinkle the remaining Cherry Ripe candy bars on top.
7.	Finally, spread the whipped cream mixture over the top, making sure to cover the entire surface.
8.	Chill in the fridge for around 2-3 hours or until completely set.
