Makes a massive trifle, plenty for 12.
Trifle’s a bit of a funny one for Picky Pickers – I certainly wouldn’t have gone anywhere near the stuff as a kid! Getting them to help make it might encourage them to taste, and I’d make sure they’ve tried the ingredients individually first!
This recipe was developed by my eldest son for Daddy’s birthday. He looked at several trifle recipes on-line and picked out and put together the bits he liked the best!
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO THE TIME IT TAKES FOR THE JELLY TO SET, YOU NEED TO START MAKING THE TRIFLE AT LEAST 6 AND A HALF HOURS BEFORE YOU WANT TO EAT IT!
Ingredients:
1 packet strawberry jelly
1 punnet strawberries
300 ml tub double cream
500 ml tub fresh custard
1 pack trifle sponge biscuits
Method:
1: Make up the jelly according to the instructions on the packet.
2: Cut the sponge biscuits in half length-ways and spread with jam before putting the halves back together again. Make a layer of sponge biscuits on the bottom and up the sides of a large bowl.
3: Cut up some of the strawberries and put a layer of them on top of the biscuits.
4: Pour the jelly in the bowl and put the bowl in the fridge for at least 6 hours until the jelly is set.
5: Pour the custard on top of the jelly.
6: Whisk the cream until thick.
7: Put the cream in the bowl.
8: Top the trifle with lots more cut up strawberries and serve.
