Christmas Trifle

My mother always made trifle for Christmas , as she is no longer with us I had a go this year. Her is a picture of a slice. As can be seen the custard has set , its not a soggy mess, thats due to using Fosters Egg Custard.

The fellow from the simple cooking channel explains the recipe below but you can see what a mess it becomes if you use pouring custard.

Broken Glass Jelly

Tessy and I went to a Christmas party on Sunday and we made a Broken Glass Jelly dessert for the party. You need a mould but its very easy to make.  Everyone seemed to like it!

Ingredients

3 packets of  flavored jelly . We had lemon, raspberry and lime
1 can sweetened condensed milk
300ml cream
1 cup apple juice
1 & 1/2 heaped table spoons unflavored gelatin

Method

Prepare the jelly in three individual bowls as per the instructions on the pack. Allow to set.
Chop up into  largish chunks about half of the jelly from each bowl and place the jelly bits into the mould. Boil the apple juice in a microwave and mix in the gelatin until its dissolved. In a separate bowl mix the condensed milk and cream, pour in the apple juice and mix well. Pour the milk mixture over the jelly and close the mould. place in the fridge until set.
