A while ago we were invited over for dinner at my friend Sheila’s home. Sheila is from England (if you couldn’t figure that our from her photo) and is a wonderful cook, and never skips dessert, or “pudding’. This time was no exception, and she rather outdid herself with a most incredibly delicious chocolate trifle which was her very own recipe! Add the custard to the melted chocolate and stir well. Transfer to a saucepan and heat very gently, for just 20–30 seconds, stirring constantly until the custard is smooth and glossy. Don’t allow to get too warm.Whip up your own delicious strawberry trifle in a few simple steps for the perfect dessert to enjoy at home with loved ones. Use milk or a milk alternative to make your perfect custard. Vary the milk quantity in the custard and/or topping for your desired consistency. Add more or less sugar to suit your taste. Finish with a slice of fresh fruit* and sponge fingers before adding the jelly or grate a little more chocolate over the top. Bird's® is the original custard brand, established in 1837 and loved by generations ever since.

Drain the cherries, reserving the syrup. (If the cherries contain stones, you may wish to stone the cherries at this point, especially if serving children – you can do this by poking with a skewer, halving the cherries and removing the stones, or using a cherry stoner. Otherwise, leave the stones in place and warn people before they begin to eat.)Spread the jam on the pieces of pound cake and place on the bottom of the ramekin or bowl you are using. Seriously. What other large dessert could you make so easily? And hello… would it look this gorgeous? Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. If you’re looking for these mini glasses, I’ve added a few links to some different shaped and sized sets, below. I use both glass and the plastic ones, depending on the occasion.

Prepare the Bird’s custard according to the directions, but adding some chopped dark chocolate at the end, to make chocolate custard. You can also make homemade custard. This recipe has been requested over and over and although there are many amazing recipes out there,I thought I would post my own version on to my blog as you guys seem to want it! Put the egg yolks, caster sugar, cocoa powder and cornflour into a bowl and whisk, preferably with electric beaters, until the mixture is very well aerated, pale and stiff enough so that it keeps shape when you trail the beaters through it. Break each sponge finger into 4 pieces, place in a serving dish and cover with the cooled jelly. Refrigerate for 30 - 40 mins. I chopped fresh strawberries and used fresh raspberries as well. It’s not uncommon for people to use frozen fruit, thaw it out and macerate it, especially in the winter months when [good] fresh fruit is not readily available. Some English cooks don’t macerate the fruit at all, they just use it as is. Unless I’m getting my berries at their peak season, I tend to macerate them or they are a bit too tart. Macerate the sliced berries with sugar and sherry and set aside.

Some use pudding, some don’t include sherry or Madeira wine, but instead non-alcoholic juices, and some even use chocolate and other ingredients.
