Directions
  1. 1
    In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
  2. 2
    In a medium saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not boil.
  3. 3
    Slowly whisk the hot milk into the sugar-cornstarch mixture, then pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan.
  4. 4
    Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. Boil for one minute, stirring continuously.
  5. 5
    Remove from heat and immediately whisk in the beaten egg yolks to prevent curdling.
  6. 6
    Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is fully melted and the custard is smooth.
  7. 7
    Cover the surface of the custard directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and set aside to cool slightly.
  8. 8
    In a small skillet, toast the blanched almonds over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  9. 9
    To assemble, spread a thin layer of raspberry preserve on the bottom of a trifle dish or individual serving bowls.
  10. 10
    Dip ladyfingers briefly in the dry white wine and arrange them over the preserve layer.
  11. 11
    Spoon a layer of the warm custard over the ladyfingers, followed by a layer of fresh raspberries.
  12. 12
    Repeat the layers of wine-soaked ladyfingers, custard, and raspberries until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of custard.
  13. 13
    Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top.
  14. 14
    Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set before serving.
