The Raspberry Trifle Gateau: A Festive Crowd-Pleaser
Available both online and in-store, the Iceland Raspberry Trifle Gateau 1000g is priced at just £4.75. The dessert is designed to serve between eight and ten people, making it an economical choice for family gatherings. Its description promises layers of vanilla flavour cream mousse, sponge, and raspberry sauce, all on a shortcrust pastry base and finished with coloured sugar decorations.
