- Well, when I lived in Germany, this is how my (English) host mother made
- trifle:
-
- Ingredients:
-
- 1 package "champagne biscuits", lady fingers, or a small yellow sponge cake
- 1 can raspberries in heavy syrup (or any other fruit)
- 1 package vanilla pudding mix (I use Bird's, an English brand you can get
- here, because the sugar content is lower. If you can't find a European
- pudding mix, I'd make a batch of homeade with very little sugar)
- 1/2 pint whipping cream
- sugar
- chocolate curls (optional)
- a liqueor complementary to the fruit used
-
-
- Tear or cut biscuits or cake into about quarter-sized pieces. Put in trifle
- bowl or any bowl with steep sides. Pour the canned fruit and syrup over the
- cake. Add 2 Tbsp liqueor, if desired. Let sit for a few hours.
-
- Make vanilla pudding and pour on top of fruit and cake mixture.
-
- After pudding has set, whip cream until good and thick. Sweeten to taste.
- Spread over pudding. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired.
