Ingredients

• 300 grams Sponge cake (store-bought or homemade)
• 400 grams Mixed fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas, kiwi, etc.)
• 500 ml Fruit jelly mix (any flavor, prepared)
• 50 grams Custard powder
• 500 ml Milk
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 250 ml Whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 30 grams Chopped nuts or chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the fruit jelly according to the package instructions and allow it to set in the refrigerator. This will take a few hours, so plan ahead.

Step 2

Cut the sponge cake into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.

Step 3

Wash, peel, and slice the fresh fruits of your choice into small pieces.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, combine the custard powder, sugar, and 2-3 tablespoons of milk to form a smooth paste. Gradually add the remaining milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Cook the custard mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Remove from the heat and let it cool completely. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 6

In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Step 7

To assemble the trifle, start with a layer of sponge cake cubes at the bottom of a trifle bowl or individual serving glasses. Press them down gently to form an even layer.

Step 8

Spoon a layer of prepared jelly over the sponge cake, followed by a layer of fruits.

Step 9

Pour a generous layer of cooled custard over the fruit. Repeat the layers (sponge cake, jelly, fruit, custard) until the ingredients are used up, ending with a custard layer.

Step 10

Top the trifle with whipped cream, spreading it evenly or piping decorative swirls.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, or additional fruit slices for a festive touch.

Step 12

Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
