Raspberry Trifle Cups

Sarah!'s Note:

From Super Food Ideas. Made these for our Christmas dessert and they went down a treat. Although these are made in individual cups you could just as easily make this as one dish (like traditional trifle). For this recipe you will need 12 x 285ml capacity glasses (10 fl ounces) Please note 1 Australian Tablespoon = 4 teaspoons. Cooking time includes chilling time.
