Quick and easy, can be made in advance and chilled. A dessert everyone will love.
Ingredients:
1 Tin ambrosia custard or make your own custard (see below)
6 trifle sponges or slices of madeira cake (you will get this easily in your local supermarket)
500g mixed berries, I've used raspberries,strawberries & blackberries (You can any fruits of your choice)
1 packet of strawberry jelly ( follow the instructions on the pack and prepare)
150-200ml double cream
Method:
1. Place the sponges into the bowls or glasses , cut into shape if required.
2. Put the raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and any fruits of your choice.
3. Pour the jelly into each pot or bowl, just enough to cover the fruits. Cover with cling film and chill , until ready to serve.
4. Once ready to serve, pour the custard ( if you are using homemade custard you can chill in the fridge before serving) make sure you leave enough room for the cream.
5. Whisk the double cream until softly peaking and spread evenly.
6. Before serving , sprinkle sugar sticks, cherries or chopped nuts
How to make your own custard:
Mix 6 tablespoon custard, with 2 tablespoon sugar, 5 tablespoon milk into a smooth paste
Heat 200-250ml milk, until it boils, then add the custard mixture, and stir well. Heat until it thickens, remember to constantly stir.
Take off the heat and add few drops of vanilla essence. Stir well.
Tips:
You can make boozy trifles but adding liquer or brandy.
