This Easy English Trifle features layers of raspberry jelly, fresh raspberries, sponge cake, custard, and whipped cream. It’s perfect for gatherings, showcasing delicious flavors and a beautiful presentation, making it a must-try dessert for anyone craving a delightful homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 135g / 2 cups raspberry jelly (jello-o)
  • 125g / 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 500g / 17 oz raspberry or strawberry cream sponge roll
  • 1½ uk pints / 3½ us cups whole milk
  • 1/2 uk pint / 1/2 us cup double cream/heavy whipping cream
  • 6 tbsp bird's custard powder
  • 6 tbsp white sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 400ml / 1½ cups double/whipping cream
  • 4 tbsp icing (powdered) sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 tbsp pomegranate seeds
  • 2 tbsp pistachios

Instructions

  1. Prepare the jelly according to package instructions and pour into a trifle bowl. Cool for about 20 minutes, then refrigerate for 1½ hours. Once thickened, add the raspberries and set in the fridge for 4-5 hours to fully set.
  2. Prepare the custard as directed on the package. Stir continuously over low heat to avoid lumps. If lumpy, blend for smoothness. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and cool for 15 minutes.
  3. Slice the sponge roll and arrange it around the sides and bottom of the trifle bowl. Sprinkle raspberry liqueur on the bottom pieces, avoiding the sides.
  4. Pour the cooled custard over the sponge until it reaches the top of the trifle bowl. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.
  5. Whip the double cream with icing sugar until soft. Spoon over the custard and decorate with pomegranate seeds, pistachios, or fresh raspberries.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, ensure the jelly does not contain gelatin.
Feel free to substitute fresh raspberries with other berries if preferred.
Jelly should be fully set before adding additional layers for best results.
