Easy Home-Made Trifle

30 Minutes
8 Servings
12 Ingredients

Description

One delightful layer of flavour after the other, there’s nothing like our Easter Trifle recipe. One of the best things about this traditionally festive treat is that it can easily become an Easter dessert. 

You can make it your own by changing layers to suit your taste. We’ve given this variation a generous dose of creamy caramel and divine chocolate chunks, which really sets it apart for the Easter weekend. 

Feel free to substitute the fruit cocktail pieces with any of your favourite fruit and, if you want to add a bit of kick to the dessert, simply drizzle sherry over the finger biscuit layer. Just don’t use too much, though – the biscuits are best if they’re still crisp.

Directions

Make red and green jelly in separate glass bowls as per packet instructions and set in the fridge for about 2 hours.

1. Pack trifle ingredients in single layers as follows:

- First layer: Red jelly
- Second layer: Boudoir biscuits
- Third layer: Half of the caramel
- Fourth layer: Half of the fruit cocktail pieces
- Fifth layer: Half of the custard
- Sixth layer: Half of Bar-One chocolate pieces
- Seventh layer: Green jelly

2. Repeat all the layers as many times as your bowl allows.

3. Top with whipped cream or Orley Whip.

4. Garnish with crumbled Flake chocolate and a few sliced strawberries.
