English trifle recipes with liquor - Custard and pudding recipes

Author: Kathleen Aguilar  

Loved by all this trifle is made up of a layer of cake soaked in Sherry or orange juice, a delicious, juicy berry compote, thick vanilla custard, and fresh whipped cream. Requires almond pound cake, (or store-bought), homemade Creme Anglaise, (or Bird's custard), poached pears, fresh raspberries and homemade whipped cream.

Traditional Trifle Recipe

There is no rule that says you can't make these in individual glasses. I did this year along with a small-ish 7"x11" Pyrex baking dish. The custard is just my good old reliable scale-able vanilla pudding made extra silky by leaving out the butter.

• 4 egg yolks
• 1 cup of sugar, (you may need a little more--I just do it to taste)

How to cook:

1. I would hold off making the custard until you have the rest of the layers constructed.
2. Place the vanilla in a large bowl. Set a fine mesh strainer over the top and set aside.
3. In a large sauce pan, combine the milk, corn starch, yolks, sugar and salt.
4. Over medium to medium-high heat, bring this to a boil, whisking constantly.
5. Before it gets too hot, give it a taste and see if you need to add a bit more sugar and/or salt for your taste.
6. Once the custard comes to a boil, turn the heat down to medium-low and cook another 30-45 seconds. Continue to whisk madly.
7. Remove the pan from the heat and strain the custard into the bowl with the vanilla. You may need to use your spatula to force it all through.
8. Stir the custard and vanilla together thoroughly.
9. Cut rectangles of pound cake about 1/2" thick and fit them in the bottom of a 9"x13" glass baking dish. It's okay to leave a little space between the slices at the edges of the pan, but the rest of the slices should pretty much be touching.
10. Even drizzle as much or as little sherry over the layers as you like. This is entirely dependent on who you're feeding, so use your good judgement. I usually use about 1/4-1/3 cup per layer. I don't measure either. I just stick my thumb over the mouth of the bottle and shake on as much as seems Prudent.
11. Evenly spread on a layer of raspberry jam about 1/8"-3/16" thick.
12. Add another layer of pound cake.
13. Sprinkle with more sherry.
14. Spread on another layer of jam.
15. Pour the custard evenly over the top of the trifle, making sure that it runs down into any gaps between the cake and the sides of the pan. I usually stick a knife in in a few places to allow the custard to spread. You want about a 1/2" layer of custard, so if you seem to have a bit extra, save it for yourself and don't tell anyone.
16. You should still have about 1/2" of space between the top of the custard and the top of the pan. This is where you'll spread your whipped cream.
17. Cover the trifle with plastic wrap (don't worry about pressing it to the surface of the custard) and chill thoroughly.
18. Once chilled, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the trifle.
19. Serve in whatever size slices you'd like, and place a completely optional maraschino cherry in the very center of each slice before serving.

Total time: 90 minutes
Prep time: 90 minutes
Yields: 8 servings
Cuisine: English
Number of ingredients: 10

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
• 4 Tablespoons Confectioner's Sugar
• 2 Teaspoons of Dry Milk Powder
• Pound Cake or Yellow Cake, baked and cooled ahead of time ( I used 6 thinnish slices of pound cake)
• 1/4 Cup Berry Jam, strawberry, boysenberry or raspberry
• Orange Juice, Sherry, Triple Sec, Brandy or Maderia
• 1 Batch of Berry Compote, cooked and cooled ahead of time **
• 1 1/2 Cups Diced Strawberries
• 2 Batches of Homemade Custard or 2 Batches Bird's Custard prepared and cooled ahead of time
• Chocolate or Berries for Topping

How to cook:

1. Whipped Cream
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and dry milk powder. Whisk on medium to low speed until hard peaks form, a few minutes. Store in the fridge while you prepare the trifle.
3. Assembly
4. Slice your cake into thin-ish slices and spread the jam on top. Then cut the cake into smallish cubes, bite-size. Layer the cake into the trifle dish in an even layer, I like to add about 1 1/2 layers not a quite full two layers of cake. Then use a pastry brush to add the liquid to the cake or just drizzle with a spoon; the orange juice or sherry. I use a few tablespoons of liquid- you don't want to soak it completely.
5. In a large bowl mix your diced strawberries with the berry compote. Then pour the mixture all over the cake making sure it goes into an even layer.
6. Next, you'll add the custard, make sure you've whisked it so it's nice and smooth.
7. If you are going to serve the trifle within a few hours then add the whipped cream now, I add most of it then save the last 1/3 of the whipped cream to pipe on top for a pretty design. If you are not going to serve the trifle until later then take a piece of plastic wrap and press it directly onto the custard to keep it from forming a skin.
8. When ready pipe the whipped cream on top and use a zester to grate the chocolate on top and add berries. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, keep in mind the longer it sits the more the cake will break down and the layers combine,
