Equipment
- refrigerator
Ingredients
- 250 grams sponge cake or 1 small sponge cake
- 2 to 2.5 cups chopped mix fruits
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 3 tablespoon custard powder (substitute 3 tablespoon corn starch + ½ teaspoon vanilla extract/essence for custard powder)
- 3 tablespoon warm whole milk
- 4 tablespoon sugar or add as required
- 4 to 5 tablespoon mango puree or juice or any fruit juice or puree/pulp
- ½ cup 25% to 50% low fat cream
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract or essence optional
Instructions
- making custard for trifle
- Warm 3 tbsp milk in a microwave or in a small steel bowl on the stove top. Then add 3 tbsp custard powder to the warm milk. Keep this custard powder paste aside.
- Stir and dissolve the custard powder very well in the milk. There should be no lumps.
- In another pan, take 1.5 cups milk. Then add 4 tbsp sugar.
- Stir and heat this milk+sugar solution on a low to medium flame. Just bring to a gentle heat and stir so that the sugar dissolves.
- Bring the flame to low. Then add the custard powder paste and stir quickly with a wired whisk, so that no lumps are formed. Keep on stirring till the custard thickens. Usually for trifles, I make a thick custard. But if you want a slightly smooth and flowing consistency, you can keep that. Allow the custard to cool at room temperature.
- whipping cream for trifle recipe
- In another bowl, take ½ cup chilled cream. I used amul cream here. You can use whipping cream or a 25% to 50% low fat cream. Add ¼ tsp vanilla extract.
- With an electric beater or in a stand mixer, whip the cream till you get soft peaks.
- Here the cream has got soft peaks. Keep this whipped cream in the refrigerator. Then slice and chop the fruits.
