Fruit Trifle


I baked a vanilla sponge cake this afternoon and planned to serve it with ice cream when my guests arrive for dinner. When I opened the refrigerator for some ingredients, I found some fruits lying in a container so I thought why not use them? With some help from ready made pudding box purchased from a nearby grocery store, I started making a quickee desert called Fruit Trifle. Layers of colorful fruits with intermediate cake cushions and some thought from your creative element, will make this chilled trifle a perfect evening delight.  


Ingredients:
Sponge cake ( your favorite flavour) - 4 Slices of dimension 4x4 inches each
Fresh fruits or canned fruits (assorted)- 1 cup
Whipped cream-  1 cup
Chocolate (for garnishing)
Pudding (2 small containers, I prefer vanilla)
Jelly or any fruit jam ( 4 to 5 table spoons).


Method of Preparation:

  1. Take 4 glass bowls or containers of your choice. 
  2. Cut the baked cake into small pieces and put those tiny pieces into the class bowl and arrange the bottom layer. 
  3. For the second layer I used Raspberry and blue berry jam one spoon each in every container.
  4. In a bowl mix all the cut fruits with whipped cream, and use this mixture as another layer. 
  5. Above this fruit mixture, cushion some more sponge cake and pudding. 
  6. You can pile up many layers of suggested ingredients till you reach the brim of the container. 
  7. Finally, embellish the top of the fruit trifle with whipped cream and garnish with some grated chocolate. 
  8. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
Ideas:
  • Any fruit of your choice can be used in the preparation of this desert. 
  • Instead of pudding, custard can be layered. 
  • Serve it chilled. 
Enjoy the desert!
