Morrisons Trifle Sponges, Pack of 8

Product Information

Next comes the fruit. Since Christmas is in summer here in Australia, berries are usually in season. My favourite combination is strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and even some cherries. You can use your favourite fruit, but using fresh fruit is best. Sometimes you just need a bowlful of proper retro style trifle, the kind you used to get in the 80s…

The addition of lemon curd and Limoncello to a berry trifle is undeniably a perfect pairing. The sweet yet tangy creaminess of the curd (whether homemade or shop-bought) adds another textural layer. And the Limoncello ( Italian lemon liqueur) offers the complementary boozy hit that every trifle deserves. Trifle sponges have been known to stay fresh for several weeks and even months when stored correctly. If trifle sponge fingers are kept in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and at cooler temperatures, they can last longer. Place in freezer bags and store in the freezer Cut the madeira cake into 1cm/½in slices. Give the fruity jelly a stir - it should be softly set. Layer the cake, jelly, fruit and juice in the bottom of a trifle dish (roughly 20cm/8in diameter). Pour the custard into a jug or bowl, cover the surface with clingfilm and leave to cool. You can also watch how to make custard in our Cookery School Video. To assemble the trifle, tip the bowl from side to side to make sure all the Madeira has soaked into the sponges, the peel and slice the bananas.Combine 150ml/5fl oz of the pear juice drained from the tin with the sherry and sprinkle it over the sponge and crumbled biscuits. Level the surface by pressing down with a spoon and leave to soak while you make the custard. Drain the pears and cut each half in three lengthways and arrange over the sponges. Pour over the custard, cover and leave until completely cold before transferring to the fridge to chill and set. Begin by prepping your ingredients. Chop your strawberries in half and then combine with raspberries and blueberries. Roughly chop your sponge cake into 1/2 inch slices. And chop your jelly (once set) into 1 inch squares. Whip the cream until soft peaks form when you remove the whisk from the mixture. Spoon the cream over the top of the trifle, starting from the outside and working in. This will avoid the cream sinking into the custard.

Add the apple juice to the fruit in the pan, and bring to a simmer. Taste the fruit, and add a little more sugar if necessary. Remove from the heat, and add the remaining cassis.
