- Make the custard as per package instructions, stirring continuously over low heat to prevent lumps. If lumps form, blend until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and let cool for 15 minutes.
- Slice the sponge roll and arrange pieces along the sides and bottom of the trifle bowl. Soak the bottom pieces with raspberry liqueur while leaving the sides dry.
- Pour the custard over the sponge until it reaches the top. Allow it to come to room temperature and then refrigerate for a couple of hours to chill.
- Whip the heavy cream with icing sugar until fluffy, then spoon it over the chilled custard. Decorate with pomegranate seeds, pistachios, or fresh raspberries.
