Traditional English trifle

Here you go Jail :kiss: I finally found the recipe I was looking for ;)


6 small sponge cakes
strawberry jam
2 oz ratafia biscuits
5 tablespoons sherry or sherry and fruit juice
8 maraschino cherries, chopped
1 tablespoon juice from the cherry bottle

For the custard
2 egg yolks
1 oz castor sugar
1/2 pint of milk

For the topping
1/2 pint double cream
1/2 oz almods, split

Slice the sponge cakes in half and sandwich together with the strawberry jam. Arrange in the base of a 2 pint serving dishand sprinkle the ratafia biscuits in between. Sprinkle the sherry, chopped cherries and cherry juice over the sponge cakes.

Custard
Blend together egg yolks and sugar in a bowl. Warm the milk, then pour it on the egg mixture. Stir well and return to the saucepan to cook over a low heat. Do not allow the custard to simmer or it will curdle. When it is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon remove from the heat. Allow to cool slightly and pour over the sponge base, leave to set.

Topping
Just before serving, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks then spread over the custard. Chop the almonds and toast lightly under the grill, sprinkle on the top.
