Fresh Fruit Trifle

--> I have a job offer. So looks like my hiatus is over. I had started to enjoy these days of break from the rat race. Gone will be my days of waking up as and when I pleased, the late night movies, and luncheons with friends.
Last Sunday I invited a few of my friends over for a high tea. Took complete advantage of the fact that J was having his own fun at a team outing from office. So it was Tea, food and Juicy gossip.
I decided to make my favorite dessert – The fresh fruit trifle. This is a dessert that I loved as a kid and it won’t be wrong to say that I managed of woo my husband with this dessert….

You Need…

Sponge Cake: - About 250 grms
Jelly cubes
Apple: - 1
Banana: - 4 medium sized
Milk: - ½ Liter
Sugar – as per your taste
Milk Maid/ Fresh Cream (Optional):- 2 tbsp
Custard Pd: - about 2 tbsp

-->
Method to Make
  • Make jelly as per the instructions on the pack. Freeze it for a couple of hours and cut into cubes. I prefer to use bright colored Jelly for this recipe. ( Raspberry flavor used in the display picture)
  • Boil milk and prepare the custard as per the instruction in the pack. The custard should be made slightly thin. I have used raspberry flavored custard to go with the Jelly.
  • Slice the sponge cake into thin slices and arrange them in the bottom of the serving dish.
  • Layer half of the custard over the cake. Ensure that the cake is well covered.
  • Add a layer of sliced fruits. I have used apples and banana. But you can use other fruits like strawberries, grapes or oranges
  • Repeat the same layering pattern once more.
  • Place the Jelly cubes as the top most layer.
  • Lace it with Milk Maid or Sweet Fresh Cream
  • Refrigerate and serve chill
