# 1 pint (550ml) milk
# 1 vanilla pod
# 4 egg yolks
# 1 tbsp. caster sugar, plus a little for sprinkling
# one and a half tablespoons of cornflour

# Place the milk and vanilla pod in a small pan and slowly bring to just below boiling point
# Transfer to a heatproof jug and leave to infuse for 10 minutes
# Remove the vanilla pod from the milk
# Place the egg yolks, cornflour and sugar in a bowl and whisk together
# Whisk in the milk, then strain the liquid back into the rinsed pan through a fine sieve
# Cook over a gentle heat , stirring constantly until the custard starts to thicken, being careful not to allow to boil
# Cook gently for two minutes unit the custard is a thick pouring consistency
# Quickly pour the custard into a cold bowl to prevent further cooking
# Sprinkle the surface with a thin coating of caster sugar to prevent a skin forming
# Set aside and leave to cool
# Spoon the cold custard onto the raspberries in the trifle bowl, spreading to the edges with a palette knife
# Gently whip the cream until it nearly holds its shape, then spoon three quarters of it on top of the custard and carefully spread to the sides of the bowl

# Pipe swirls of cream around the top of the bowl and decorate with flaked almonds and cherries
