A Christmas classic
classicChristmas A
Growing up in my house at Christmas time always meant trifle! My parents are English and amongst the Yorkshire pudding and gravy, there was always a trifle on the table. All the deliciousness of cream, custard, biscuits and fruit. It just wasn't Christmas without it! If you are yet to try it, make this the year to give it a go. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy xx

INGREDIENTS
6 sponge fingers (or 6 ounces sponge cake or pound cake), halved horizontally and cut into thick slices 2 to 3 tablespoons sherry, optional 2 cups fresh raspberries or strawberries (do not use frozen) 2 cups jelly or Jell–O made to packet instructions (or make your own) 2 cups thick homemade custard (or canned) 2 cups softly whipped cream Whole raspberries or strawberries, garnish Toasted sliced almonds, optional garnish Grated chocolate, optional garnish Gather the ingredients.
Line the bottom of the trifle bowl or glasses with the sponge fingers or cake in a nice even layer. If you want to use sherry, now is the time to add it. Brush it on the sponge and let it soak in for 5 minutes.
Cover the fingers with a thick layer of raspberries or strawberries. Slowly and gently pour over 1/3 of the liquid jelly and put into the fridge—doing this will set the sponge and fruit into the bottom of the bowl. Once this layer is set, pour over the remaining jelly and leave to set.
Once set, spoon a thick layer of custard on top.
Finish with a thick layer of whipped cream either spooned over or piped using a piping bag.
All that's left to do is to decorate and enjoy.
