Today I am going to talk about the festive season trifle, because I did not submit a Christmas blog so I thought I would combine a Christmas and Easter super trifle special.
Below you can see the construction and the finished festive trifles. The trick with trifles as always, is anything goes! The more creative one can be, the better. For our festive trifles we give some thought as to the essential flavours for the season and try to incorporate these into different layers. So our Christmas trifle featured Panettone sponge cake, egg nog custard and ginger bread biscuits and then combined cherries and almonds . Decorations saw the development of a white Christmas theme.
Easter trifle, in contrast, featured a vanilla custard and hot cross buns soaked in baileys. After letting it set overnight the topping decorations included a variety of Easter eggs, with chocolate and Carmel sauce. YUM!
The golden rule is to have fun, get creative and take a risk. At the end of the day, a combination of flavours tied together with sponge and custard can rarely go wrong.
