GRANNY'S DESSERT - TRIFLE SPONGES & CUSTARD



Granny's Dessert - Trifle Sponges & Custard image

This isn't truly a trifle recipe, it's just what my sister and I used to call it when we were kids. I don't think there's really a name for it - it's just very simple, sweet and yummy. It looks nothing special, it sounds nothing special, but serve it up and it'll be gone in seconds!

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 small sponge cake
1 cup raspberry jam (or flavour of your choosing)
75 g custard mix (Granny always made it up from Birds tinned powder and full fat milk, but I'm sure any custard will d)

Steps:

  • NB. The ingredients list wouldn't let me specify amounts as I wanted so I had to improvise. In the UK we have packets of trifle sponges (they come in packs of 10-12 I think) which are like thin sponge blocks of about 2cmx4cmx5cm. If you can find these then use 1 to 3/4 of a pack (approx. 8-10), or otherwise a small, plain sponge cake would do - just cut it up into small-ish squares of approximately the same size. It's not really important. With the jam you can add as much or as little as you like (depending on how sweet you can handle it) and the custard should be approximately one standard size pack of instant custard, which is 75g in the UK.
  • Cut the trifle sponges in half lengthways and generously cover both sides with jam before putting back together to make a mini sponge sandwich. Cut in half widthways.
  • Make up the custard (it needs to be a reasonably thin consistency).
  • Mix the sponges in the custard and add a couple of spoons of extra jam. Mix well (don't expect it to look nice - it'll look like lumpy baby food!).
  • Serve instantly!

  • If using trifle sponges then cut each sponge in half and spread with jam, then put back together as though you were making a sandwich. For ladyfingers or spongecake spread jam on one side.
  • Cut the sponges to fit into your bowl or glass. We cut into 1.5cm strips for smaller glasses but you can cut larger rectangles or squares for a large bowl.
  • Begin placing the sponge strips into the bowl/s. We start by working along the edge to make sure the visible layer looks good and then fill out the middle. Pack them in tightly, cutting smaller pieces of sponge to fill any gaps. This makes sure the rest of the pudding has a firm foundation to build layers upon. The layer should be at least an inch thick, depending on the size of your bowl.
