Fruit Trifle

[Nan]

Here is an Aussie favourite:

 

1 x 85g pkt of quick-set strawberry & raspberry jelly crystals

14 bought jam rollettes, cut into 1cm-thick slices - or plain cake cut into large cubes

80ml (1/3 cup) apple juice or sweet sherry

2 x 250g punnets strawberries, washed, hulled, halved

2 x 150g punnets blueberries or other fruit such as peaches, mixed berries

500ml (2 cups) Vanilla custard

250ml (1 cup) thickened cream, whipped

 

 

Step 1:

Prepare the jelly following packet directions. Pour into a large container and place in the fridge for 1 hour or until set. Coarsely chop.

 

Step 2:

Place half the rollettes in the base of a 3L (12-cup) capacity serving bowl. Drizzle half the apple juice or sherry over the rollettes. Top with half the jelly and one-third of the combined strawberries and blueberries. Spoon over half the custard. Repeat with the remaining rollettes, apple juice or sherry, jelly and half the remaining strawberries and blueberries. Top with the remaining custard.

 

Step 3

Spoon the cream over the trifle and top with the remaining strawberries and blueberries. Place in the fridge until required

 

 

For dinner parties, Trifle can also be made in individual parfait glasses.
