A MERE TRIFLE! STRAWBERRIES AND CLOTTED CREAM TRIFLE



A Mere Trifle! Strawberries and Clotted Cream Trifle image

Luscious fresh strawberries nestle amongst light sponge cake sandwiched with strawberry jam, which are then covered with creamy custard and topped with clotted cream. Simple! This trifle may be simple but it is the star on any tea-time or dessert table and if you cannot obtain clotted cream, use whipping cream, heavy cream or double cream instead. Madeira is used in place of sherry in this trifle, which gives a mellow flavour to the trifle. This is a recipe that my mum sent to me, from a cutting in a British magazine promoting Devon and Cornwall in the West Country - home of the Cream Tea! If you wish to serve this to children or non-drinkers, substitute the Madeira with fruit juice of your choice. In the summer scatter some pink rose petals over the top for the ultimate and romantic finish! (Prep time includes the chilling and soaking time.)

Time 2h

Yield 1 Trifle, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 single trifle sponge cakes or 5 sponge cakes, cut into slices
2 tablespoons strawberry jam
4 fluid ounces madeira wine
12 ounces fresh ripe strawberries, thickly sliced
1/2 tablespoon golden caster sugar
1 (250 g) container clotted cream or 1 (250 g) whipping cream
1 (500 ml) container fresh ready-made custard
1 tablespoon toasted sliced almonds
1 vanilla pod
rose petal (optional)

Steps:

  • First of all cut the trifle sponges in half lengthways or cut the sponge cake into slices, spread each half or slice with strawberry jam, then re-form them and cut each one into 3 little sandwiches. Now arrange them in a 3 pint (1.75 litre) trifle bowl. Then make a few stabs in the sponges and sprinkle the Madeira carefully and evenly over them, then leave it all aside for half an hour so it can soak inches
  • After that, sprinkle half the strawberries over the top of the trifle sponges, pushing some down in amongst them. Then put the rest into a Mini Chopper or food processor along with the sugar, whiz to a purée then drizzle the purée over the strawberries.
  • Meanwhile, empty the custard into a jug, split the vanilla pod lengthways and, using a teaspoon, scrape the seeds into the custard and mix together.
  • Spoon the custard evenly over the top of the strawberries, then dollop the clotted cream over the custard (or whipped cream) smoothing it with the back of a knife and lastly sprinkle with toasted flaked almonds and scatter with rose petals if using.
  • Now you need to cover the dish with clingfilm and make sure it is well chilled before serving, up to two hours is ideal.

  • Put the fruits with the lemon juice and sugar in a pan and cook over a low heat until the fruits are lightly stewed, about 5 minutes. Lift the fruit out into a dish and set aside. Bring the juices to the boil for a minute or two until they are starting to look syrupy and are reduced by about half. Pour over the fruit and leave to cool.
  • Roughly break up each scone and divide between 6 individual dessert glasses, and pour over a little of the honey-sherry mix. Spoon over the cooled fruit mixture followed by a layer of custard. Top with a dollop of clotted cream.
