Trifle

Ingredients
  • 8 pieces Swiss roll slices
  • 3–4 tbsp orange juice

    Custard filling
  • 50g custard powder
  • 100g castor sugar
  • 150ml water
  • 600ml milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1/8 tsp salt

  • Jelly layer
  • 1 packet (110g) mango jelly crystals
  • 250ml boiling water

    Topping
  • Some mango slices, cubed (can change with other fruit)

    Method

    Dissolve the custard powder in a little bit of the milk. Next, put the mixture into a saucepan with the rest of the milk. Add in water, sugar, salt and essence. Stir over low heat until mixture thickens and boils.

    To prepare jelly, dissolve jelly crystals in hot water and set aside.

    To make the trifle, line a glass dish with the Swiss roll slices. Spoon some fruit juice over them and then top with mango pieces.

    Pour two-thirds of the prepared custard over the mango pieces then place the glass dish in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set the custard.

    Pour half a portion of the dissolved jelly over the custard. Chill in the refrigerator until the jelly sets.

    Slowly pour remaining custard over the jelly layer. (Should the custard thicken, add 1 extra tablespoon of milk and return to a low heat, stirring all the way until it cooks and custard is smooth again.)

    For the remaining jelly mixture that has set, cut into cubes and use as topping. When custard has set and is well chilled, garnish with the jelly and mango cubes. (Note: The trifle should be well chilled before serving.)
