Ingredients
Scale
- 135g / 2 cups raspberry jelly (jello-o)
- 125g / 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 500g / 17 oz raspberry or strawberry cream sponge roll
- 1½ uk pints / 3½ us cups whole milk
- 1/2 uk pint / 1/2 us cup double cream/heavy whipping cream
- 6 tbsp bird's custard powder
- 6 tbsp white sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 400ml / 1½ cups double/whipping cream
- 4 tbsp icing (powdered) sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4 tbsp pomegranate seeds
- 2 tbsp pistachios
Instructions
- Prepare the jelly according to the package instructions and pour it into the trifle bowl. Let it cool for about 20 minutes, then refrigerate for 1½ hours until it thickens. Add the raspberries and return to the fridge to set for 4-5 hours.
- Prepare the custard as instructed on the package. Cook on low heat while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Once thickened, strain it through a sieve for a smoother texture and cover directly with plastic wrap to prevent skin from forming. Allow it to cool for 15 minutes.
- Slice the sponge roll and arrange the slices in the trifle bowl against the sides and on the bottom. Sprinkle raspberry liqueur over the bottom slices but not the sides.
- Pour the custard over the sponge until it reaches the top edge of the trifle bowl, covering the cake completely. Allow to reach room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
- Whip the double cream with icing sugar until soft and fluffy, then spoon over the custard. Top with pomegranate seeds, pistachios, or fresh raspberries.
Notes
For a plant-based version, substitute whole milk and cream with plant-based alternatives.
Make sure to allow enough time for the jelly and custard to set properly for the best results.
You can customize the fruit toppings based on seasonal availability.
