My mum used to make Trifle, which im sure is one of the reasons my husband married me - He loves my mums trifle, anyway, she moved to the UK, so I had to recreate the trifle...
Jam sponge roll Sliced and spread around the bottom and edges of a large bowl
Drown it in alcohol - Mum used to use Sherry, I prefer either Peach Schnapps or Cointreau
Drain a tin of "fruit salad" dont throw the syrup/juice out
Spread the fruit over the (now very drunk) jam roll
Make Jelly as per packet instructions, but instead of adding cold water, add the reserved Fruit Juice/Syrup
Pour the slightly cooled Jelly over the fruit
Put it in the fridge to set
Make Custard, allow to cool slightly
Pour over set Jelly
Put it back in the fridge
Whip Cream
Spread cream over set custard
Top with sliced strawberries and crushed chocolate flake.
Watch it disappear.
I have also made a chocolate trifle
Make a Chocolate Swiss Roll
Use this as the base
Drown that in Cherry Liqueur
add fruit
Jelly
Chocolate Custard
Chocolate cream
Very Sweet but YUMMMMMMMMM
I love Christmas, Means I get to make all of the yummy sweet treats.
