You can still make a spectacular trifle using store-bought custard and cake. But please,please don’t use artificially flavoured jelly. Making your own is easy,and it is what will make your trifle the best on the block.
Don’t fret if you can’t make perfectly neat layers like you see in the photos. The fact is,the moment you start serving it,it becomes a frightful mess. And how it looks doesn’t affect the flavour. As a fallback,you can always tie a big fat ribbon around the trifle dish to hide the messy layers. I’m speaking from experience here!
Make-ahead tip
- Make the trifle the day before or even two days before. The only thing to do on the day is to whip the cream and pile on the berries.
