Supreme Trifle

This might be disappointing but I have no story or deep thoughts on trifles except that this recipe is exactly how it was originally made with a little add ons here and there. The only thought in my head when I think 'trifle' is that it has got to be rich in texture and a crazy adventure till the bottom of the glass. Almost like Christmas - surprises till it ends.

Ingredients:

Milk

Cream

Egg Yolks

Sugar

Chocolate

Sponge

Fruit- Strawberries/pears/pineapple from a tin

Biscuit crumble

Mint

Flour

Method:

Crumble up your sponge cake into a sauce pan and squeeze half an orange on it.. Just enough to be soaked on by most of the pieces. Pieces of chocolate were also added for flavor sake. It may not necessarily coat all the pieces. That way it'll add texture to the layering.

In another sauce pan, caramelize your pear by adding sugar to it. Repeat with strawberries in separate pans.

Custard:

Mix 1 cup milk and 2 tbsp. flour together. Put it on a low heat till it comes to a boil. Whisk 1.5-2 egg yolks and very slowly add these to your pan while mixing at the same speed. Make sure you do that slowly to avoid lumps and making an actual omelet out of the custard. Pour in very gently while mixing vigorously.  Add mint for color. Stir till it's as thick as you want it.

Plating up!

First goes in the sponge then strawberries, squeeze orange on the caramelized pear and pop that in, little custard, cream, pineapple...Repeat till your dish is almost full and garnish it with mint for color and a fresh start to all the lovely flavors that every bite holds!:)

Bon Appetite
