Step 1: You will need

  • 800 g shop bought or vanilla sponge cake sliced into 4cm cubes
  • 420 ml sherry, dry or semi sweet
  • 850 ml of packet ready made custard
  • 250 g (approx) of jam of choice
  • 2 bananas
  • 200 g raspberries
  • 400 g peaches
  • 850 ml boiling water
  • 250 ml double or whipping cream
  • hundreds and thousands or grated chocolate to garnish
  • 1 medium serving bowl
  • 2 large bowls
  • 1 electric beater
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 large knife

Step 2: Make the custard

Pour the custard powder into a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the hot water, making sure the powder is fully dissolved before adding the next batch of water. Keep whisking until it thickens.

Step 3: Make the base

Add all the cake pieces to the serving bowl and push them down with your fingers. Using the spatula, spread the jam of your choice over the top. Pour over half of the sherry, push down with the spatula and repeat with the second half.

Step 4: Layer with fruit

Place the chopped banana on the trifle base and spread the pieces over evenly. Add the peaches and raspberries. Pour over the custard and smooth it all around the edges of the bowl.

Step 5: Chill

Place the sherry trifle in the fridge for roughly half an hour to cool.

Step 6: Whip the cream

Put the cream into the other large bowl and whip into soft peaks.

Step 7: Crown with cream

Dollop the cream on the sherry trifle and spread it over evenly.

Step 8: Present and serve

Sprinkle over a generous handful of hundreds and thousands of grated chocolate, and serve!

    There are a number of ingredients in this dish that allow one to vary the quality. Can make your own. cake, custard, real whipped cream --- or not. So glad I live today with many choices at my disposal.

    Fingal, If you don't like packet custard or hundreds and thousands. Then substatute them with what you like! -_-;;

    Packet custard? This needs real custard or is not worth having. Hundreds and thousands? Toasted flaked almonds or nothing.

    A travesty of the real thing.
