    Jelly Custard Trifle Recipe

    This trifle is one of the quickest and easiest desert you could ever make. Plus it is so tasty and light. Great for big parties or get togethers. But i can assure you can finish this whole thing from start to finish in under 30 mins if you get the jelly set already.

    I made this with just custard and jelly and layered it with cake and dried fruits..You can use any fruits as you like. Mangoes, Strawberries, Apples, Pineapples will be great too.

    About this Recipe

    Custard is a group of culinary preparations made from sweetened milk, cheese, or cream that has been thickened with egg or egg yolk and sometimes flour, corn starch, or gelatin. Depending on the recipe, custard may vary in consistency from a thin pouring sauce to the thick pastry cream used to fill eclairs.

    What are the layers in a trifle?

    A trifles layers traditionally include cake, custard, fruit, jelly, and cream. It requires little cooking, can be prepared ahead of time, and you can customise the ingredients to your liking.

    The traditional trifle, which originated in England in the 18th century (though less similar dishes were made even earlier), consisted of three or four layers of fruit, alcohol-soaked sponge cake, and custard. Fruit and cake were frequently layered with homemade jelly.

    Ingredients for Jelly Custard Trifle

    Sponge Cake :

    Trifle sponges are a traditional British ingredient, but they are nothing more than dry sponge cakes. Because the cakes are dry, they can absorb a significant amount of liquid in a trifle, softening and flavouring the sponges. There are some options available to you.

    Sweetened Condensed Milk :

    Sweetened condensed milk is cooked until it thickens and becomes a creamy caramel-like pudding that can be used in a variety of dessert recipes. Its delicious on its own, with ice cream, in coffee, or spread on apple slices.

    Custard Powder :

    Custard powder is a concoction of milk, sugar, and egg yolk. Its a tasty base for many savoury recipes as well as a topping on many desserts. Commercial custard powder sold in supermarkets is made with cornflour, riboflavin, regular salt, and various flavours.

    • Sponge Cake - 200 grams
    • Dried Fruits and Nuts - 1 cup ( I used tutti fruity and figs)
    • Sweetened Condensed Milk - ½ cup
    • Milk - 1.5 cup
    • Custard Powder - 2 tblspn
    • Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp
    • Sugar - ⅓ cup
    • Readymade Jelly Crystal - 1 packet
