Jam Swiss roll, sherry, tinned peaches, thick custard (made or bought), port wine jelly, whipped cream and then toasted flakes almonds 🥰 quickly followed by a shot of insulin

[@Marylmac]

We always made trifle, blackberry or fave jam spread all over the sponge cake, then heavily sprinkle a red wine, sherry or choice wine, and liqueur over the cake...until you see liquid on the bottom of the clear glass bowl...and leave overnight and top up any dry cake next day. Add a layer of custard, fruit of choice, usually sliced yellow clingstone peaches, add home made custard in layers..then another layer of fruit and custard. Then set it and when ready to serve...add red , yellow and green jelly cut into small cubes, then decorate with more sliced peaces, then decorate all of that with freshly whipped sweetened brandy cream. I always bring it out last...when all the other deserts have been served...and no one wants any more. ..So, the next 2 days I enjoy the best desert in the world, all sogged up and flavours all mixed together with the slippery peach pieces, syrup and brandy cream. Yummooo!

[@Revelwoodie]

My grandmother couldn't get Bird's when she came to America, so she had to learn how to make custard from scratch, lol. Which we're all thankful for. But she would have words with you for substituting the sherry! She also didn't use jam, or syrup. She soaked the lady fingers in sherry, then for the fruit layer, she used fruit she had sugared down the night before. Then the custard, then repeat all 3 layers. Finished with the cream on top. But no chocolate! Oh, and we only had trifle in the summer. We had plum pudding at Christmas.

[@annebratko4284]

I did a Black Forest Trifle for Christmas dessert. I used Ghirardelli double chocolate cake for the "sponge" layer, drizzled it with Polish Cherry liqueur, then put a layer of Cherry liqueur infused cherry pie filling, followed by a chocolate mousse layer, and on top of that whipped cream. It was a hit!

[@rebeccscreasman3293]

The trifle has crossed over to the U.S. We had British neighbors, 40 years ago. They passed the the recipe to Mom, who carried it from Minnesota to Texas, to Arizona. I carried it further into the state. It is amazing how fast it disappears at holiday parties!

[@dianecohen8876]

years ago in home economics class my classmate and i were tasked with making a trifle. it was a little daunting to look at the large glass dish and know it would have to be filled to the top! well, we completed the trifle cutting the cake to fit the curves of the dish as closely as possible, all layered neatly, i was pretty satisfied with the results being that it was a very visually and presentative type of cake. it looked very much like yours. a woman i did not recognise was judging our work. i remember her saying, "it looks good but...', wherewith she picked up a large serving spoon, plunged it into the bowl, and mashed it all together. "THAT'S how it's supposed to be." i was upset, horrified , and nauseated. there's a special place in hell for people like that.

[@jeffcrompton2767]

I can remember my mom using sponge cake or swiss rolls with strawberry jam sugar syrup, rum or sherry, mixed fruit,custard,cream ,and shaved chocolate. It was great until the recipe changed to jello in place of the syrup. Then we started layering different flavored jello, custard cream. One day ill make the old recipe just to remember my mom.

This video brings back very old memories. As a young child this was one of the first things we learned in the kitchen from my mother. Her British heritage must have kicked in because Christmas wasn't Christmas without trifle. Her recipe came from an old 1950s British cookbook. Swiss roll, ladies fingers biscuits or sponge cake in the bottom, tinned quava or peaches, then layer after layer (usually about four) of different colored jelly - orange, green, red, yellow. Clearly she loved jelly! Then custard on top. Took all day making this as she didn't want us to start the next layer of jelly till she was sure the previous layer is well set. Will always think of my mother when I see trifle! Thanks for yet another wonderful video. I have your cookbook that you referred to in this video. Will surely go look up your recipe. Merry Christmas, Darren!🎅🎄🎁🎶

My recipe: lady finger sponge biscuits. Canned fruit salad in natural juice. Port wine flavoured jelly. Port. Custard. Cream. Lay the lady fingers in the trifle bowl. Drain the fruit salad (reserve juice) and scatter over the biscuits. Make up the jelly with 1 cup boiling water, mix to dissolve then add 1/2 a cup the reserved juice mixed with 1/2 cup of port. Pour over the fruit and biscuits. Leave to set. Make the custard, let cool then pour over the jelly. Chill well before topping with whipped cream and scatter with grated chocolate.

Jelly in trifle? The cardinal sin!

@@TheFilwud I find your comment offensive. In the north of England where I am from, trifle most definitely contains jelly, and chef Paul Hollywood agrees. By all means, omit jelly from your trifles, but don’t tell me I am wrong to include it.

[@TheFilwud]

@@Duchess_of_Cadishead Must be the difference between english trifle and scottish trifle. Being a Liverpool family of course for us it was always Scottish trifle, no jelly. It just means they are a bit less sweet and more creamy I suppose. I don't make it myself, it's too much for one person to eat and I don't have a family, but my Brother in Law makes a fine trifle, something I have missed over the past couple of years.

Yes, trifle is definitely a timeless dessert! I actually grew to like trifle when I was in university. I remember in the cafeteria, there would be these mini trifle cups with sponge cake, blueberries, vanilla pudding, and whipped cream that I would like to get every lunchtime they were available. They were really good, and small portions too. I actually have heard of trifle having alcohol in it, but I don't really drink alcohol. Although homemade custard does sound like a much better idea than vanilla pudding. By the way, I really love Winston! I think once I move out of my parents' house, I might get a corgi myself. They're so cute!

We always have trifle at Christmas. Ours has a maderia cake soaked in sherry or suitable alternative.

[@richardcoleman3425]

Dad would use a sliced Swiss Roll to line the bowl, then a drained tin of Fruit Cocktail to fill the bottom; jelly was poured onto this and allowed to set, before the (Birds) custard layer (incorporating sliced banana) was set on top. Finally finished with sweetened whipped cream (or Dream Topping) and either chocolate vermicelli or Hundreds & Thousands.. Absolute Heaven! :)

When I was a kid, I loved Trifle but I hated the sponge in it so I often used to have it without the sponge.
