Make up a packet mousse if you haven't got custard - or just fancy a change!

I slice through the trifle sponge (from the supermarket) horizontally then spread one half with jam.blackcurrent is the nicest then sandwich the two pieces together. Cut into small squares and pop into your serving bowl ( I use a glass one) Add a little bit of water to some sherry and pour over the cake pieces. Don't make it too soggy.Make custard and when coolish pour that over and with a knife gently poke the blade down here and there so that the custard mingles with the cakepieces. Spread over whipped cream and garnish with finely chopped walnuts.absolutely the best trifle believe me.

Trifle ###### first timers If you have never made a trifle before, here is a very simple recipe . Split a trifle sponge in half-----jam both sides, place sliced peaches over one piece, scatter some chopped walnuts over and put the other piece of sponge on top.Cut it into 2 cm squares, scatter into a serving dish and splash over 1/4-1/2 a can of ginger-ale[ do not swamp it, [better to be a little dry, than wet] Pour over custard, using a knife to make holes for the custard to get right into the sponge.leave to set, cover with cling wrap, put in fridge to chill , Smother with whipped cream to serve.If You are up to it, freeze what you may have left and use for New Year.I put up first timers , it is so easy. if you wish you could buy the custard to make this trifle.I always serve jelly separate
Egg yolk custard
put into a bowl 6 egg yolks, 1/3 cup of cornflour, whisk in 1 cup of milk. set aside. Put in a saucepan 1 & 1/4 cups of whole milk, 2 tsp vanilla sprinkle over the milk 2/3 cup of sugar Do not stir, put on stove and watch for it to simmer. Add a little hot milk into the cold, while whisking, maybe half, then pour it back into the saucepan, return to the heat. I turned my element down by 1/4. stir with a wooden spoon until it is nice and thick. This custard sets real fast, as soon as I noticed it thickening I removed it from the stove, kept whisking while it finished cooking. I have covered it with cling film to stop it skinning over

cut up your sponge pour over the juice of a tin of boysenberries and let it soak the sponge i usually mix it with a spoon cause i like it evenly thru the sponge next cover with the drained boysenberry fruit then cover with store bought custard and then top with whipped cream and chocolate shaving or more boysenberries if you have them ~ drained of course.yumbo.there is never any left when i serve it.
