| Dolly's Berry Trifle |
Serves 10
Dolly's Berry Trifle ingredients: 200g store-bought Madeira
cake. 100ml sweet sherry. 100g amaretti biscuits. 300g blackberries or
raspberries. 300ml thickened cream
Custard ingredients: 500ml milk. 150ml pure (thin) cream. 8
egg yolks. 75g caster sugar. 1 heaped tbs cornflour
Dolly's Berry Trifle recipe: 1- For the custard, pour the
milk and cream into a saucepan and place over medium heat. Whisk the egg yolks,
sugar and cornflour together until smooth. As soon as the milk mixture starts
to bubble at the edges, pour it into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
Return the custard to the pan and place over medium heat. Using a spatula, stir
the custard until it thickens, then remove from the heat and pour into a clean
bowl. Cover the surface with baking paper and cool completely, 2- break the
cake into chunks and layer over the base of a large trifle dish. Splash on the
sherry and let the cake soak it up. Crumble the tree-quarters of the biscuits
over the cake, then cover with berries, saving the best-looking one (about
one-third) for the top. Spoon over the cooled custard and smooth in out as best
you can. 3- Whip the thickened cream to soft peaks, then spoon it over the
custard and smooth out. Decorate the trifle with the reserved berries, then
place in the fridge for 3 hours to set. 4- Just before serving, crumble the
rest of the amaretti over the trifle. To serve, scoop big spoonfuls into bowls,
so every serving has a mix of all the layers
