Trifle
<<
Trifle is a classic dessert served in a shapely glass bowl filled with layers of cake, cream, fruit and an assortment of favorite sweets. My nieces
Erin and Samara make the most delicious trifle and they agreed to share their recipe. Be creative and feel free to substitute pudding flavors or
other fruits in this simple and delectable recipe.
Quantities of ingredients depend on the size
of the bowl that is used. Make sure to leave enough room for at least two layers of cake, pudding, fruit and
cream. When constructing the trifle, check the outside of the bowl to make sure that layers are visible.
Ingredients:
- 1 sponge cake, purchased at the bakery or supermarket
- Rum, orange juice or your favorite liqueur
- Vanilla Pudding (instant prepared, or your favorite flavor)
- Strawberries, stems removed and sliced
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Sliced Bananas
- Whipped cream
- Chopped nuts, toasted if possible
Tear sponge cake into pieces and place at bottom of the bowl to make a layer. Drizzle or sprinkle rum, juice or liqueur over the cake, not to soak it, just
to make it slightly damp.
Spoon a layer of pudding over cake. Top the pudding layer with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and
slices of banana. You should be able to see each layer as you look at the side of the dish.
Top the fruit with a layer of
whipped cream.
Repeat process: cake, pudding, fruit, cream.
Spinkle top (second layer of whipped cream) with chopped nuts. Garnish with a few berries.
Guests will be happy to take at least one large spoonful of this popular dessert.
Note: Ground up bits of your favorite chocolate bars, flavored whipped cream, syrups and
exotic fruits can be used to personalize this creative dessert recipe.
