"D to the E, to the L - I - C - I - O - U - S"

Yesterday I had a huge craving for Trifle. I only eat Trifle one way - the way my Nan used to make. Now alot of people don't like Trifle, mainly because it is too sweet, full of watery tinned fruit or because of the alcohol in it. I am pleased to tell you that this Trifle has not one of these elements. Zero Fruit. Zero Booze.



So I went to the supermarket, grabbed all the ingredients for five dollars. Five dollars!

I came home, whipped it all up and chucked it in the fridge. At about 8pm last night, I had a serving. Craving - satisfied.





Look at those layers!

If you want to know how I make it leave a comment and I will email you the recipe.



I've had a few email requests and facebook requests for this so here is the recipe.



You will need:





1 x packet of Gregg's raspberry jelly crystals

1 x packet of Pams vanilla dream instant pudding mix

1 x double layer plain sponge from supermarket (I use the rounds because they are cheaper)

125ml Cream

600ml Standard Milk - Do not use lite milk, in order to rid yourself of guilt. It's totally not worth it.

A few tablespoons of Jam. Blackberry or Raspberry work best





Mix up your Jelly with boiling water according to the packet instructions, set aside to cool.



Cut the baked tops off the sponge (dark brown bits) in a really thin layer with a sharp serated knife. Cut the baked edges off, try and cut off as little as possible.

Spread the sponge roughly with a thin layer of jam and chop roughly in to rectangle pieces about 5cm x 3cm big. Whatever - it doesn't really matter as long as they are chopped. Pop your sponge into a medium sized salad bowl.



Pour your slightly cooled Jelly over the sponge fingers, let all the sponge absorb the jelly. You can stab the sponge with a knife a few times so it really gets in there.





Make up the vanilla pudding accoding to the packet instructions then pour over the top of the jellied sponge. Again you can stab away so that it sinnnnnks in a little bit.



Cover with glad wrap and stick it in the fridge for a few hours. Once the vanilla pudding is set whip some cream and spread it over the top. Then eat. Nom nom nom.
