Product Information

NB adding fresh kiwi, pineapple or papaya will prevent the jelly from setting.. Bird's Strawberry Trifle Dessert Kit. Perfect dessert in just a few easy steps!. Just add water, milk/milk alternative & sugar. Makes 6 portions. Suitable for vegetarians. Bird's. In a trifle bowl or large glass salad bowl, layer half of the brownies, mousse, cherries and Cool Whip. Spread the jam on the pieces of pound cake and place on the bottom of the ramekin or bowl you are using. I’m actually half Scottish (my dad was born in the Shetland Isles of Scotland) and half English (mom was born in England, I in Leicester). I still have family in the UK, some in Cornwall, more in Droitwich Spa and others in Canterbury just to name a few! A trifle is made in a similar manner to a tiramisu. I had actually made a white cake and we only used a few pieces, so I used the rest to make my trifle.

I either make it in a large trifle bowl or a huge glass salad bowl, and there’s always enough to go around no matter how many people I’m feeding.

English Trifle Recipe

Sheila made hers in one large bowl, but I made individual chocolate trifles so you can see both ways of serving them. This trifle is a perfect summer dessert as there is no baking, and it is served cold. Not to mention that it has to be prepared ahead of time, so it’s great for dinner parties or get togethers.

Reserve one square of the chocolate for decoration and put the rest in a medium heatproof bowl and either melt in a microwave on HIGH for about 1–1½ minutes, or place over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Once almost melted, remove from the heat and stir until smooth. Use skimmed, semi-skimmed, whole, coconut or almond milk to make your perfect custard. Vary the milk quantity in the custard and/or topping for your desired consistency. Add more or less sugar to suit your taste. Add fresh fruit of your choice* with the sponge fingers before adding the jelly. Top with sliced fruit or grate a little more chocolate over the top.Ok, we’ll make it in a sec, but first I’ll talk about some substitutions if you can’t get a couple of the ingredients where you live. Substitute for Skor Bar: Cool whip is a processed whipped topping similar to whipped cream, but unlike whipped cream, it holds its form and won’t fall flat over time. Apparently, you can’t get Cool Whip in Australia, but one of my Aussie readers kindly sent me this recipe for homemade Cool Whip. Others have said they make their own own Cool Whip by adding icing sugar (powdered sugar) to real whipped cream. I chopped fresh strawberries and used fresh raspberries as well. It’s not uncommon for people to use frozen fruit, thaw it out and macerate it, especially in the winter months when [good] fresh fruit is not readily available. Some English cooks don’t macerate the fruit at all, they just use it as is. Unless I’m getting my berries at their peak season, I tend to macerate them or they are a bit too tart. Macerate the sliced berries with sugar and sherry and set aside.
