Ice Cream Trifles Food

ORANGE BLOSSOM TRIFLE

Steps:

• Stir together orange juice, eggs, and sugar in a small saucepan. Place over low heat, and stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved, and the mixture is very thick. Once thick, strain mixture into a large bowl, and stir in butter cubes until melted. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
• Fold whipped cream into cold egg mixture until smooth. Recover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
• To assemble, place half of the cubed angel food cake into the bottom of a trifle bowl. Spoon on half of the whipped cream mixture, and sprinkle with half of the Mandarin oranges. Create a second layer with the remaining angel food cake, whipped cream mixture, and Mandarin oranges. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

ICE CREAM TRIFLE

Steps:

• Cut cake into 1/2inch slices crosswise.
• In a small shallow glass bowl of footed compote line the bottom and sides with the slices.
• Sprinkle the cake with the sherry.
• Fill the cake lined bowl with scoops of ice cream.
• Top with the berries, cool whip and almonds.
• Serve immediately.

FROZEN TRIFLE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Grease then line the base and sides of a deep, 20cm round loose-bottomed cake tin with baking parchment. Cover the base of the tin with slices of cake. Fill any gaps with small pieces, trimmed to size. Spoon over 2 tbsp of the alcohol.
• Put 300g of the fruit and the yogurt in a processor. Add the sugar, then pulse until smooth, thick and creamy. Spoon half of the frozen yogurt onto the cake mixture, then scatter with half of the remaining fruit and poke it in. Freeze for about 1½ hrs until firm. Put the rest of the yogurt mixture into the freezer too.
• Let 1 tub of ice cream soften a little, then spoon it on top of the berry layer and flatten with the back of the spoon. Freeze again until firm, then repeat the layers, poking the meringue shells into the top of the ice cream and scattering with the nuts to finish. Freeze for at least 6 hrs, or ideally overnight. Can be frozen for up to 2 weeks.
• To serve, take the cake out the freezer and chill in the fridge for 30 mins. Defrost times will vary depending on how cold your freezer is. Remove the parchment and slide it onto a cake stand or plate. Leave for another 30 mins to soften in the fridge. Dip a knife in boiling water, dry and slice the cake. Do this before each slice for a good clean cut.

PEPPERMINT ICE CREAM TRIFLE

Steps:

• In a chilled metal bowl, mix ice cream, peppermint extract and food coloring. Refreeze ice cream at least 2 hours or up to 3 days. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate and milk in 10-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until chocolate melts. Chill chocolate sauce until ready to use (up to 3 days); to reheat, microwave for 10 seconds. Pour half of chocolate sauce evenly among four 5-ounce serving glasses; scoop one quarter of ice cream into each glass; pour remaining half of chocolate sauce over ice cream. Garnish with pizzelle halves and candy canes; serve.

ICE CREAM TRIFLES

Steps:

• Make the cherries jubilee: In a medium saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar and grenadine over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the rum and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from the heat and let cool in the pan. Can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 5 days.
• To assemble each of 6 trifles: Place the ice cream in a pastry bag (no tip needed). Place 1 cake round in a clear 8-ounce plastic food-safe jar (2 1/2 inches in diameter and at least 3 inches tall). Pipe about 1/4 cup of the ice cream. Top with a tablespoon of cherries jubilee. Repeat the layering with the cake, ice cream and cherries jubilee. Cover with the final layer of cake and top with some of the chocolate sauce. Cover and freeze for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes before serving.
