FESTIVE TRIFLE........

HI again.....a bit late for the recipe for a xmassy trifle.... I only make one a year.....jelly and cream and cake and custard...lol...wicked combination of no no"s...... The lighting in my kitchen taking  pics was atrocious! dark and cloudy day....not conducive for fabulously light photos. But one must carry on   :)  as they say...dont sweat the small stuff....and its all small stuff!  I did think of getting hubby to take pic of me outside in better light holding it 
but I envisioned myself tripping and a most delightfully funny pic would of been the result....but I dont think family members keen on eating it would of been too amused....

on to the ingredients....

Sweet sherry  1/3 cup  or to taste

home made custard... about a litre..depends on your bowl size

jelly...I chose port wine...raspberry and lime...festive colours

thickened cream...whipped

sponge roll...or sponge cake (broken up) or sponge fingers....

crushed nuts...or in my case grated chocolate ...


line the base and sides of your bowl with sponge..and extra layer on the base....
sprinkle over the sherry till all sponge is moist...
add cooled custard
then jelly(cut into little squares)  
add whipped cream....
top with nuts or chocolate....  :)  simple!

I make the jelly and custard day before...and also sherry up the cake then too....then put it all together xmas day. 

Its the new year....yay!  Its always a good feeling when I think of a fresh new year ahead....full of possibilities!  Ok till the next post...onwards.................  :)
