Product Information

I am in the white coat, my older brother is next to me in the brown coat, and my beautiful mom, God rest her soul, is holding my little brother Michael. I have a few other old family photos in this dedication post I wrote for my mom here: Classic Yellow Cake: Dedicated to the Memory of My Mother I had never had a chocolate trifle before and was really amazed at how all the flavors worked together so well! Of course, I had to ask for the recipe. Sheila has graciously permitted me to share her recipe with you and I don’t know about you, but I’m elated that she did!

NB adding fresh kiwi, pineapple or papaya will prevent the jelly from setting.. Bird's Strawberry Trifle Dessert Kit. Perfect dessert in just a few easy steps!. Just add water, milk/milk alternative & sugar. Makes 6 portions. Suitable for vegetarians. Bird's. Cool whip is a processed whipped topping similar to whipped cream, but unlike whipped cream, it holds its form and won’t fall flat over time. Apparently, you can’t get Cool Whip in Australia, but one of my Aussie readers kindly sent me this recipe for homemade Cool Whip. Others have said they make their own own Cool Whip by adding icing sugar (powdered sugar) to real whipped cream. I either make it in a large trifle bowl or a huge glass salad bowl, and there’s always enough to go around no matter how many people I’m feeding. Put the egg yolks, caster sugar, cocoa powder and cornflour into a bowl and whisk, preferably with electric beaters, until the mixture is very well aerated, pale and stiff enough so that it keeps shape when you trail the beaters through it.

What Happened?

Growing up, my family always used Bird’s Custard Powder in our English trifle. However, it’s hard to find where I live, so I went ahead and made the custard from scratch. I really do love pudding, but for this dessert, I insist on using custard. There’s something about the beautiful aroma of custard that reminds me of the house we lived in before coming to America. I savor it. Whip up your own delicious strawberry trifle in a few simple steps for the perfect dessert to enjoy at home with loved ones. Use milk or a milk alternative to make your perfect custard. Vary the milk quantity in the custard and/or topping for your desired consistency. Add more or less sugar to suit your taste. Finish with a slice of fresh fruit* and sponge fingers before adding the jelly or grate a little more chocolate over the top. Bird's® is the original custard brand, established in 1837 and loved by generations ever since. Add the custard to the melted chocolate and stir well. Transfer to a saucepan and heat very gently, for just 20–30 seconds, stirring constantly until the custard is smooth and glossy. Don’t allow to get too warm.

Assembling your Black Forest Trifle

In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks together with the sugar and cornstarch. It will be all lovely and yellow. Place all those pieces cut-side up and brush them with the cream sherry. Now spread the jam on top. Cut them into small squares.

For the rest of the trifle I used a tub of brownie bites from the bakery aisle, the cherries from the jar of cherries in kirsch, fresh cherries for the decoration, cherry jam, and some grated chocolate and sprinkles. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. If you’re looking for these mini glasses, I’ve added a few links to some different shaped and sized sets, below. I use both glass and the plastic ones, depending on the occasion. I chopped fresh strawberries and used fresh raspberries as well. It’s not uncommon for people to use frozen fruit, thaw it out and macerate it, especially in the winter months when [good] fresh fruit is not readily available. Some English cooks don’t macerate the fruit at all, they just use it as is. Unless I’m getting my berries at their peak season, I tend to macerate them or they are a bit too tart. Macerate the sliced berries with sugar and sherry and set aside. This recipe has been requested over and over and although there are many amazing recipes out there,I thought I would post my own version on to my blog as you guys seem to want it! If you want to avoid using kirsch, you can use tinned cherries that are in syrup, or the cherry pie filling. Or, you can de-stone fresh cherries! It is entirely optional, and where all you are doing is layer different bits, it is very easy to use what you want.

More From Bird's

One thing to be aware of when it comes to using fruit in jelly is that some fresh fruits will prevent your jelly from setting; these include fresh pineapple, kiwi and papaya. Using these fruits are part of tinned mixture doesn’t seem to have that effect though…don’t ask me why.
