Product Information

This traditional British trifle recipe is just the beginning, and you can take it anywhere you like.

This is the controversial layer – do you or don’t you add jelly to a trifle? I do because that’s the way my Nana made it but I know that not everyone agrees. To me, it’s not a traditional English trifle without the jelly so its inclusion is never in doubt in this house!

The last layer is cream and more often than not, I know that whipped cream is used here so if that’s what you want to use then get whipping and then spoon the cream onto the top of your trifle. I first published my traditional English trifle post a good few years ago now but with the jubilee celebrations approaching, I thought I’d reshare it because my lovely Nana would have been over the moon with me sharing her with you all! Dream Topping Banoffee Pie – one of my favourites. Use Dream Topping as the top/white layer on top of your standard banoffee pie recipe.

Put on a low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the custard comes to the simmer – any lumps should disappear as you continue to beat it. 7 Leave the custard to cool My Nana used to pride herself on two things – her split pea soup and her trifles! When I was about six, I told her that she was the best ‘trifler’ in the world and I’m not exaggerating when I say that from then on, she reminded me of this EVERY single time she made a trifle. Let the custard cool a little before pouring it over your jelly base. spread the custard to the edges of the bowl and allow to cool completely in the fridge. She always used to make hers in individual glass dishes but I’ve always made it in a big glass bowl that I have as it’s the perfect size for a trifle and it shows the layers of the trifle off really well but today I found some little glass ice cream bowls that are a bit deeper than the usual glass bowls you come across and the first thing I thought of when I saw them was how lovely they’d be for a trifle.
