Directions

Another perfect dessert idea for the winter holidays – English trifle. I got this recipe from my English friend that now lives in Switzerland. She has a tradition of making a trifle for every Christmas. This is a family recipe. Very simple, but incredibly delicious. You must try it!

A few words about the trifle. It’s a famous English dessert, you’ve probably heard about it. The trifle’s sometimes referred to as English tiramisu 🙂 It’s usually served in a large glass container or individual glass ramekins and made by layering ladyfingers (or sponge cake) soaked in sherry or another fortified wine, fruit, custard, sometimes jelly, and topped with whipped cream. The dessert has a very long story; it was first mentioned in the 16^th, and since that time there have been created a bunch of trifle variations, so you are free to experiment too!

An original home-made English trifle is so easy and delicious! You must try it! We loved it and are going to make it again for sure!

Read how to make custard in the SECRETS section. If you happen to have some leftovers, you can make apple and passion fruit tartlets.

Note! The ratios used in this recipe are approximate and depend on the size of a container and a number of layers!

P.S. For Gluten-free version of the recipe, please use gluten-free savoyardi.

Layer 4 – Canned peaches. Layer the peaches over the ladyfingers. Layer 5 - Ladyfingers. Dip the ladyfingers in the sherry and layer over the peaches. Layer 6 - Custard. Spread the custard over in a 2 cm thick layer. Cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight.
