Living
very close to Wimbledon has definitely rubbed on some serious tennis interest
in me. Last Sunday when it was Wimbledon final I was all set to watch the game with
a classic English trifle. It was a nail biting game indeed, we were supporting
Djokovic and I really jumped out of joy when he won! Now that the Wimbledon is
over I am following football religiously. I would have loved to see in Brazil
in final but now that they are gone I am supporting Argentina J
Anyway
coming back to topic, it’s so easy to assemble this trifle and all you need to
cook is some home -made custard. In case if you don’t want
to make homemade custard use custard powder which is also pretty good.
Ingredients (Serves
4 )
Trifle
Sponges/ Sponge cakes – 8
Strawberry
jam – 8 tsp
Brandy
– 2tbs (optional) ( dissolve 2 tbs of brandy in 2 tbs of water and add 1 tsp of
sugar)
Home-
made custard ( recipe here)– 2 cups ( thick consistency )
Whipped
cream – 300 ml
Icing
sugar – 2 tbs
Strawberry
and banana slices – 1 cup
Method
- Slice the sponge lengthwise into two and spread the jam and sandwich it back.
- Place the sponges into a one big trifle bowl or in individual dessert bowls.
- Sprinkle brandy (if using ) on the sponges and leave it for 2-3 minutes for soaking.
- Pour home- made custard on top of it .
- Spread the fruits slices
- Finally whip some cream with icing sugar and spread it on top layer.
- Allow it to set for an hour or 2 and serve chilled !
