I Am Not To Be Trifled With

I Am Not To Be Trifled WithVery basic recipe, that I usually throw together this time of the year before the inevitable family gatherings. Feel free to get more ornate with it!

Ingredients (serves 10)

1 x 85g pkt Aeroplane quick-set dark cherry or strawberry jelly
1 x packet of 8 small jam rollettes, dice into into 1cm-thick round slices
1 x small punnet of fresh strawberries (washed, hulled and halved)
2 x 450g frozen berry mix (I used McCain Season’s Choice Blueberries and Raspberries)
500ml (2 cups) vanilla custard
250ml (1 cup) thickened cream, whipped
1 x Kit Kat bar (four fingers)

Two bowls – one large (about 28cm diameter) and two small mixing bowls (one for jelly, one for the cream). Blender (for cream whipping), rolling pin (to crush Kit Kat) and large spoon.

Method

Chop up rollettes into 1cm rounds, cover the base of the large bowl and run half-way up the sides. Prepare the jelly as per Side viewpacket instructions in smaller bowl; crush and crumble two fingers of the Kit Kat and sprinkle into jelly. Place jelly in refrigerator for about an hour to set.

When jelly is set, spoon it over the rollettes in the large bowl. Top with custard and berries, leaving a few berries for decoration on top.

Spoon whipped cream over the trifle and top with remaining berries. Crush second half of Kit Kat and sprinkle on top to finish. Cool in fridge until served.
