I like to cut a sponge in half, spread on raspberry jam, and fill it will sliced of peaches, a few walnuts.Cut it into cubes, pile into a nice glass dish. Splash over a little fruit juice and ginger-ale to dampen it a little. Cover with a custard. Custard you make yourself, or from a carton, your call.Enjoy.

This is fantastic.

Melt jam in a small saucepan over medium heat.Remove from heat, stir in orange juice and set aside until the mixture reaches room temperature.Put the cream, mascarpone, icing sugar, vanilla essence and cinnamon in a bowl and beat until soft peaks form.Cut each biscuit in half crossways and dip each piece in the Masala.Arrange half over the base of a 3.25 Litre serving bowl.Sprinkle 1/3 of the combined berries over the biscuits and drizzle with half the remaining Marsala and 1/3 of the redcurrant sauce.Spoon half the cream mixture over the sauce.Repeat layering with the remaining half of the dipped biscuits and Marsala, 1/3 of the berries and sauce, and the remaining cream.Arrange the remaining berries over the cream in a mound in the centre of the bowl.Reserve the final 1/3 of the redcurrant sauce, cover and refrigerate.Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.Before serving, pour the reserved redcurrant sauce over the berries to glaze.Gently reheat if too thick.

Hi Annable
Why would you put the three jellies in three different corners?Or did I misunderstand?WOuld you do this even if you were doing it in a big flat dish?

Rubarb triffle! Just cook up, add sponge, tip over a red jelly, top with custard and then cream on serving! Easy as and even those who turn their nose up at rubarb are converted!

I buy a ready-made filled chocolate log,slice it and put it in a glass bowl with rasberries-tinned or frozen are fine.Add homemade blancmange,and fold it all together gently so the choc log stays in chunks. Blancmange-1 egg yolk,2 tablespoons sugar and pint milk in saucepan,(pref double-boiler)stir all the time till starts to rise in pot then briskly stir in paste of cornflour and water till thick and creamy-this happens quickly.Then fold in beaten egg white so the custard is light and fluffy. I also make it in individual serving dishes-one slice of choc log at bottom,and raspberries and blancmange over it.

This is what I am doing this year.Not done it before so hopefully will turn out ok.Trifle sponge spread with lemon curd and drizzled with Lemoncello.Layered up with vanilla custard, strawberries & raspberries, topped with whipped cream and mascarpone.Then sprinkled with toasted almonds and crushed meringues.Don't like jelly so missing that out.

CHOC/BERRY TRIFLE A few years ago I decided to try something different with trifles because my kids didnt like them.Now Im not allowed to make anything else but this: Take a chocolate sponge and break into pieces, moisten with kahlua and/or boysenberry juice (from tin).Cover with lge tin of boysenberries. Cover that with a tub of whipped up (Tararua) choc mousse, cover with whipped cream and crumbled flake bar.I don't have a recipe as I made this up, but use anything you like.I did try chocolate instant pudding once, but it separated.

I USE YOGHURT INSTEAD OF CREAM.. Being LActose Intolerant (milk, cream), flavoured yoghurt and a good quality Greek, (thick and creamy) to balance out the sweetness of the jellies. I too, make three different flavoured jellies with around 300mls boiling water and layer diced sponge spread with three-berry jam with spoonfuls of jelly, well-drained peaches (or whatever), fresh strawberries, blueberries and the globs of a flavoured yoghurt, and the plain greek one. My husband HATES yoghurt, or his past recollections of it, but the "modern" fruit flavoured ones tend to be our dessert, these days. This trifle is superb, and no-one ever clicks it's not "cream". Cheers!! devalois
