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.
