Berry Trifle —————— Follow @cookingwithlamees for more fun and easy recipes! ——————- Growing up in the UK, trifle was a staple in our food, my mum would always make it when she had leftover sponge cake that she would make on a weekly basis, layers of cake, fruit jam, custard and whipped cream, all in 1 bite, I don’t believe that there is anything more delicious than that! Its quite easy too, all you need is: For the custard: * 4 cups whole milk * 8 egg yolks * 1/2 cup sugar * 4 tablespoon cornstarch * 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract * 1/2 cup butter For the rest of the ingredients: * 9 inch white vanilla cake, baked and cooled- i used readymade cake mixture * 2 layers of whipped cream * 2 layers of homemade jam -i cooked frozen berries with some honey * Fresh berries For the custard: Heat the milk over low-medium heat, stirring frequently, until it just begins to simmer. in a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until light and smooth. Gradually add the hot milk to the egg mixture. Adding the hot liquid very, very slowly in the beginning will temper the eggs, allowing them to warm gradually so that they don’t curdle, Pour the contents of the mixer bowl into a saucepan and heat over medium, whisking constantly, until the mixture, until thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk in butter. Custard will be thick and smooth. Pour into a shallow bowl and cover the top with plastic wrap. #trifle #triflecake #britishfood #dessert
