Perfect pudding for sharing | EXTRA LARGE BOWL OF CLASSIC TRIFLE

[@manymoms920]

Yes you need to make some for your kids. The traditional UK version of this is to use trifle sponges which are dryer, like Italian sponge finger biscuits. We put them in the bottom of the bowl, pour small amount of sherry on top, then pour onto the sponge the cooled jelly liquid. Then allow to set, then custard, then custard, then double cream whipped, then decorate with sliced almonds and cherries. I've never seen this version of a trifle in the UK. I'm sure there are lots of versions out there. I like the use of berries. Looks really really good.

This is the first time I have ever seen the cake on top of the jelly, it’s normally placed in the jelly before it sets. Interesting 🧐

[@Emjay_____71]

I googled this and apparently you can do it in any order !! But yes, I agree that the cake goes at the bottom traditionally, especially in a Sherry trifle as you pour the alcohol onto the sponge at the bottom and it soaks in, then add fruit and jelly, but hey its 2023 ! 🙂 Looks lovely 😍

[@shalinicross4438]

Looks divine. I love trifle. Sometimes i add toasted almond flakes ontop of the cream and its just so delicious. added bite. Love love love trifle

YUMMY TRIFLE 😋

thanks

Chetna I've made the jelly with readymade fruit jelly for easier and it comes very nice

[@real_lostinthefogofwar]

My favourite Christmas treat as a child, I haven't had it since the sixties

[@sangeetabocki]

Mine version is cake at the bottom, sprinkled with some fruit juice to soften it,then comes a layer of mixed fresh fruits( I prefer tinned) and dried fruits, followed by a layer of custard and then the top layer of jelly as decoration, sometimes with whipped cream,mostly without it. It is a rich dessert, no doubts. I like it.

@@FoodwithChetna kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYqXdJmHq9yfr8ksi=txLbFFDD-B5Y_o8L iam sure you will enjoy making this original recipe. Of course you can replace alcohol or eggs with pre-made custard to your liking.

Hi Chetna, was the geletine that you used a vegetarian/vegan one?

[@FoodwithChetna]

no

[@richard9480]

That looks absolutely wonderful. Obvs, sherry isn't good for the children but for adults, how much and at what stage should (dry) sherry be added in? Many thanks.

[@aliciaf1055]

I wouldn't use a dry sherry for this! This is the moment for a sweet sherry - Oloroso at least! Sprinkle it on the cake before the custard, if you are layering it like this.

[@richard9480]

@@aliciaf1055 Thank you so much, Alicia! I shall do just that! Happy Xmas and a wonderful new year in 2024!

[@manymoms920]

Good idea to do it in stages so it sets. Usual mistake is not giving enough time to set the jelly.

[@dreamteamleader9098]

This may be a dumb question but I feel like it's worth asking LOL what do I cover it with because I don't want to travel with it uncovered. I'm going to make my mom one for a desert for this Saturday just to see if it's something she'd like me to bring to dinner. I cannot walk into her house with it uncovered she would kill me😂😂😂

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

You can cover the bowl with an aluminum sheet foil or cling wrap. Just remember not to rest any other items on top of it while transporting 😀. Just leave a little gap on top when you lay out the cream or else some of the cream will stick to the foil/cling wrap.

[@FoodwithChetna]

if you dont fill it to the top then you can cover with anything......

[@dreamteamleader9098]

@@FoodwithChetna I took a Chopstick and went across lightly and made a design on top that way the cling wrap didn't touch it. It was a definite hit! And not as sweet as I assumed it would be thanks a lot for sharing!

[@carmellewis2466]

Looks amazing. Not convinced that sharing it's a good idea though 😁

2:16 What would be the equivalent of gelatine sheets to powdered gelatine?

Agar is a vegetarian substitute for gelatin

[@paulwomack5866]

Google gave "Replacing gelatine powder with leaves? As a guide, two gelatin leaves will replace 1 tsp gelatin powder in a recipe."

[@TerrySmith1953]

As someone brought up in the UK and with a trifle-making mother, I am traumatised by not seeing the cake on the bottom and with some kind of booze soaked into it (usually sherry). Just kidding! Feel like making this now.

[@paulwomack5866]

It's not a 70s trifle if it doesn't have RAINBOW SPRINKLES on it!

[@FoodwithChetna]

[@annajohns738]

Of all the shortcuts, I would definitely just use ready made jelly and make the custard from scratch, rather than the other way round. Ready made custard is not nice.

[@FoodwithChetna]

for the real trifle taste you really need the ready custard. I love homemade custard for all things but for this trifle ready made custard is a must! 😍
