TRIFLE PUDDING

A well known and all time favorite dessert is this.It is nothing but 'cakes,fruits,whipped cream,custard arranged in layers in the bowl.Very easy and interesting sweet dish.
Let us learn

SERVINGS : 4

Ingrediaents :

  1. To make Custard - Custard powder with your favorite flavor(2 Tbsp),Milk (2 Cups),Sugar (1/2 Cups)
  2. Sponge Cake - 250 Grams, cut into cubes of around 1 inch
  3. Fruits : Kiwi,Pineapple,Apple - 1/2 cup each cut into small chunks
  4. Strawberry Crush - 1 Cup
  5. Whipped Cream - Depends upon how much you like( I have mixed it well with mango pulp to get the flavor and taste).
STEPS :
  • Custard : In a heavy bottom pan, add the Milk and Sugar and keep for boiling on medium flame.Now in a bowl,add Custard powder and 4 Tbsp milk and mix it well.Now start adding this custard mix to the boiling milk there by stirring the milk continuously.This is must to avoid the lumps in custard.After it's prepared,let it coll down to room temperature.
  •  
  • Now comes the layering part of this whole mix.Let us see the pictures below to see the arrangement of the ingredients.
  •  Keep the Trifle in fridge for around 30 to 40 minutes and serve it.


TIPS :
  • While making the custard,one has to be very patient and cautious.Always keep flame on medium to low.High heat can burn the bottom and it adds the undesired smell to the custard.
  • But at the same time, also take care that custard does not remain uncooked.The uncooked custard tastes bitter.
  • You can adjust the consistency of the Custard according to your choice.
  • Trifle is nothing but layered arrangement of cake,fruits,custard,whip cream etc.So you can always arrange and decorate the trifle the way you like.
  • You can choose the fruits of your choice.If you like, you can add dried Raisins,Cranberries,Cherries,Fruits etc.
  • Make the arrangement just 3 to 40 minutes before serving.So that you can keep in fridge and serve it fresh.Coz if it is kept for more time, the cake turns out to be just soggy lump and spoils the taste.
