Ingredients
Jelly and Fruit
- 2 x 85g Raspberry Jelly
- 500g frozen mixed berries
- ¼ cup sugar
- 200g punnet strawberries, stalks removed
Cakes
- 2 x packets Mini Lamingtons (200g each)
- 1 x store bought chocolate cake (360g)
Dairy
- 500ml cream, whipped
- 1kg custard
Toppings
- 30g Flake bar, crumbled
Instructions
- Prepare the Jelly: Dissolve the raspberry jelly packets as per the package instructions, then pour into a shallow tray and refrigerate until set.
- Sweeten Berries: In a bowl, gently mix the frozen mixed berries with ¼ cup sugar and let them thaw to release juices and sweeten.
- Layer Cakes: Slice the store bought chocolate cake and mini Lamingtons into bite-sized pieces and arrange a layer at the bottom of the tray over the set jelly.
- Add Fruit Layers: Spread the sweetened mixed berries and sliced strawberries over the cake layer evenly.
- Spread Custard: Pour and smooth the 1kg of custard over the fruit layer, creating an even, creamy layer.
- Top with Whipped Cream: Spread the whipped cream over the custard layer, smoothing it out for a nice finish.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the crumbled 30g Flake bar evenly on top of the whipped cream for a crunchy, chocolate topping.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and to serve chilled.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh berries for frozen if preferred, adjusting the sugar accordingly.
- Ensure the jelly is fully set before adding cake layers to maintain structure.
- For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream and custard alternatives.
- The Flake bar topping can be replaced with chocolate shavings or sprinkles.
- Prepare the jelly the night before to save time when assembling.
