TRADITIONAL ENGLISH TRIFLE - THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS DESSERT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 дек 2020
- Trifle will appear on more Christmas tables this year than Christmas pudding in the UK. It's a timeless classic, seeped in history that dates back to Tudor times and King Henry VIII.
The ultimate comfort food, a dish that I served to Princes William and Harry in the Royal nursery and also The Queen and her guests over the holidays.
Every home cook believes they have the best trifle recipe... well, here's mine! Delicious strawberry jam sponge seeped in Drambuie syrup, syrup, sprinkled with raspberries, strawberries and blueberries and covered with a layer of gorgeous home made vanilla bean egg custard. Then topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with grated chocolate. What's not to love about TRIFLE!

Traditional English Raspberry Almond Trifle
Makes 6-8 portions
For the base;
1 Sara lee all butter pound cake (10.75oz)
Half a 12 ounce jar raspberry jam
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ¼ cups water
4 tbs sherry (optional)
For the custard;
2 cups heavy cream
5 egg yolks
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
½ tsp vanilla paste
For the topping;
1 ¼ cups heavy cream (whipped to soft peak)
1 Cadburys chocolate flake (or 2oz milk chocolate)
¼ cup toasted flaked almonds
Cut the pound cake into ¾ inch slices and sandwich with the jam. Layer into a large glass bowl and sprinkle with the raspberries.
In a small pan boil the sugar and water for about 5 minutes to make a syrup. Add the sherry (if using) to the syrup and pour over the sponge.
Bring the 1 pint of heavy cream to a boil in a large saucepan. Whilst it is heating, mix the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Pour the boiling cream over the egg mix and return it to the pan. Stir over a low heat until it just starts to thicken. Don’t over cook. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before pouring over the sponge.
Refrigerate the trifle until the custard has set. Then spoon the whipped cream over the top of the custard. Decorate with the chocolate flake or grated chocolate and almonds.

We did choc swiss roll, baileys, mashed banana, chocolate (cocoa)custard, whipped sweet cream, 100s n 1,000s. Yummy.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any help you can give me!
@Aaron Jairo instablaster ;)
@Mohammad Mustafa thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@@aaronjairo5456 no
I do it the same way with one exception. While putting together the sponge and berry mixture I drink half the bottle of Drambuie, pass out on the kitchen floor, and make the custard the next morning.
🤣😂
I making this right now and my husband asked where the jelly is 🙄
😄😄🤩
HILARIOUS !!!!!!!! Haaa, ha, ha !
😂😂 love how you do it!!!
got to be my mama's retro orange trifle made with swiss roll, orange jelly, tinned mandarins, birds custard, cream and crumbled flake.
That sounds refreshing and delicious! 🎄🎅
That sounds good.
Omgosh reminds me of my childhood. My mum soaked the sponge fingers in Cointreau. Rest the same. 😋 😋
Wtf that sounds lovely
Wat times dessert🤩
Where's the beef sauteed with peas and onions?
I got that reference !!
Damn, you beat me to it, lol!!
Man you beat me! Lol
*onions
Me everytime I hear about trifle 😂😂 ..
Jam Swiss roll, sherry, tinned peaches, thick custard (made or bought), port wine jelly, whipped cream and then toasted flakes almonds 🥰 quickly followed by a shot of insulin
We always made trifle, blackberry or fave jam spread all over the sponge cake, then heavily sprinkle a red wine, sherry or choice wine, and liqueur over the cake...until you see liquid on the bottom of the clear glass bowl...and leave overnight and top up any dry cake next day. Add a layer of custard, fruit of choice, usually sliced yellow clingstone peaches, add home made custard in layers..then another layer of fruit and custard. Then set it and when ready to serve...add red , yellow and green jelly cut into small cubes, then decorate with more sliced peaces, then decorate all of that with freshly whipped sweetened brandy cream. I always bring it out last...when all the other deserts have been served...and no one wants any more. ..So, the next 2 days I enjoy the best desert in the world, all sogged up and flavours all mixed together with the slippery peach pieces, syrup and brandy cream. Yummooo!
😂
Hahaha
We do it with with different jellies. Green and red, use layers and also add chestnuts . The rest is the same. Next time I will use fresh berries
My mother always made her own custard instead of the packaged pudding mix for her banana pudding. You would not believe how much better homemade custard tastes.
Mrs. Crocombe approves.
@@ereagan4 I bow to Mrs. Crocombe's expertise and am missing any new appearances by her.
It's funny, homemade is definitely a better taste, but Bird's has a nostalgic place in my heart.
I have always made my own custard for banana pudding, pies, and trifles. If I were making a trifle, it would be non alcoholic. The simple syrup would include almond flavoring; and, I would have a layer of blueberries, one of raspberries, and one of strawberries.
Trifle has got to be one of the greatest desserts ever! And the extra wonderful thing about it is that you don't even have to bake it! 🍰😃
Hello Deborah, how are you doing
Darren: I’m all Yank, born and raised. But my late mum was a proud, proud Brit, in every respect, including food-wise. Trifle was her go to on festival occasions. When I watch you, I wax nostalgic (and a little melancholy). But, seriously, I love it. Keep it coming!
The trifle has crossed over to the U.S. We had British neighbors, 40 years ago. They passed the the recipe to Mom, who carried it from Minnesota to Texas, to Arizona. I carried it further into the state. It is amazing how fast it disappears at holiday parties!
So glad you love it! Enjoy
Wonderful ❤
I came for the recepies, but i stayed for the storrys and Winston
I did a Black Forest Trifle for Christmas dessert. I used Ghirardelli double chocolate cake for the "sponge" layer, drizzled it with Polish Cherry liqueur, then put a layer of Cherry liqueur infused cherry pie filling, followed by a chocolate mousse layer, and on top of that whipped cream. It was a hit!
That sounds delicious Anne
Hello Anne, how are you doing
That sounds AMAZING!!
A favourite at my house too! Delicious!
I can remember my mom using sponge cake or swiss rolls with strawberry jam sugar syrup, rum or sherry, mixed fruit,custard,cream ,and shaved chocolate. It was great until the recipe changed to jello in place of the syrup. Then we started layering different flavored jello, custard cream. One day ill make the old recipe just to remember my mom.
A trifle bake off between Darren and Mrs Crocombe
yes pls!
For a sec, my tired brain read "Mrs. Slocombe". A very different outcome!
Mrs. Crocombe wouldn't allow Winston in the kitchen. I love her but even you have to admit she's incredibly stern.
I think I prefer the shaved chocolate topping over the edible flowers but both versions look delicious.
@@bjdefilippo447 I'd love to see what color hair she'd have for that occasion!
First, there’s a layer of ladyfingers, then a layer of jam, then custard which I made from scratch, then raspberries, more ladyfingers, then beef sauteed with peas and onions, then a little more custard, and then bananas, and then I just put some whipped cream on top!
I LIKE IT!!
What's not to like? Custard: good! Jam: good! Meat: gooooooood!!!
@@iluvdoggos I think I'm getting the meat sweats now.
Lol good Friends reference 😂😂😂
“These people put really strange things in their food”. Rachel lol
I wish that I were your neighbour: "Hello, Darren. I was wondering whether I might borrow a cup of sugar. Oh, is that a trifle?"
😂
😂😂😂
Superb! Although this is a bit too much sugar for me nowadays, it will always be one of the great English Christmas traditions my family and I have come to love! Absolutely splendid, Mr. McGrady!
I love my mom's trifle she makes hers with angel food cake, fresh strawberries and blueberries, vanilla custard and whipped cream, it is our families favorite dessert, we have it on 4th of July and for just family get togethers and BBQ's
I have had a very interesting first encounter with trifles. One of my profs at uni is from Cornwall (my school is in Canada), and at the end of the term he’d make the treat for everyone in the class. Didn’t know at first it had alcohol, and I don’t drink much. So you can imagine 19 year-old me having an unexpected shot of sherry at 8:30AM in class HAHA
My grandmother couldn't get Bird's when she came to America, so she had to learn how to make custard from scratch, lol. Which we're all thankful for. But she would have words with you for substituting the sherry!
She also didn't use jam, or syrup. She soaked the lady fingers in sherry, then for the fruit layer, she used fruit she had sugared down the night before. Then the custard, then repeat all 3 layers. Finished with the cream on top. But no chocolate!
Oh, and we only had trifle in the summer. We had plum pudding at Christmas.
Love this guy! So unlike those superficial tv. chefs and not lacking in skill! Big Fan!
we’re not from the UK, but my mom makes an AMAZING trifle with blueberries, strawberries, and banana. Every time she makes it, it’s gone before we can put any away for leftovers 😂
Darren my family LOVE trifle. One year I made 18 separate pint sized trifles, 9 of 'alcoholic' and 9 of 'sobre' ones. I made egg custard for all of them. It definitely was a 'character building' exercise 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I love this traditional and incredibly easy to make English dessert. Sometimes when I'm lazy I cheat and make it with store bought brownies, a tin of cherry pie filling and packaged chocolate pudding.
Hello from America . . . just discovered you channel > Love It . . . all the best Darren . . .
I still use my gran's recipe. My family left the UK a few generations ago, but didn't adapt to southern US food. Stale sponge, home-grown & made red plum or blackberry jam, home-grown canned peaches, rum, rich custard & whipped cream. Home-grown chopped toasted pecans for garnish. This was the Christmas version. Summertime, it was fresh berries.
Thanks for sharing!
Almond cake, cherries and cherry jam, custard and whipped cream. Pure indulgence!
I love watching you cook & listening to your stories of working with the Royal Family. I also enjoy all of the history of how recipes began & how they've evolved!
Hello Kimberly, how are you doing
My grandmother had to make with little after the war, her recipe is simple, made with ingredients you have at hand. Zwieback sandwiched with the red jelly(strawberry or raspberry) placed in a single layer. Then coffee is sprinkled over and then the custard layer. That’s it, no cream. I love it.
we no longer have Zwieback wafers (at least not in the USA). My grandmother used to keep them for teething babies and toddlers - I remember them fondly.

I love to make my black forest trifle! Using chocolate home made Swiss roll with kirsch and black cherries, a little black cherry jelly to set it all, followed by chocolate custard and fresh whipped cream and Cadbury’s flake sprinkled on top! My absolute favourite!!
That sounds fantastic.
Hello Sandra, how are you doing
That sounds lush!
My tropical version is with stewed pineapple and roasted cashews in custard cream instead of berries.
I soak my sponge with sugar syrup comes in pineapple stew. My layering order would be- vanilla sponge fingers, pineapple custard, strawberry jelly, whipped cream and cherries on top. This is yum. You must try it. Love your recipes. Thank you! - From Sri Lanka
Lovely trifle - Winson's adorable! Merry Christmas!
Every time I see trifle. I think about Rachel Green and the quote “It taste like feet!” 😂😂😂😂😂 I never had trifle dessert.
I was just picturing Ross saying that to Joey. 😂😂😂😂
I’ve never had to trifle in my life. I don’t recall ever seeing a trifle served ever!
Hello Heather, how are you doing
You wow me everytime! You’re channel is the only thing that keeps me going at the moment. I‘d love to see you’re version of coronation chicken sometime! ;) Merry Christmas and best wishes for the coming year!
Darren thank you for your videos throughout the year, they have helped to provide some happiness during what has been a bit of an annus horribilis. Wishing you and yours and very merry Christmas and here's hoping things will get better for everyone in 2021.
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a trifle standing proud in the middle of the table
Rachel green walked us through those layers. Looks beautiful
He makes it look so simple. He natural at being highly experienced. I have really enjoyed this .please don't stop making videos . With love from Newzealand
Amazing thanks for sharing this recipe of an all-time classic !!
I love making trifle. You can put what ever combinations into it. Get creative 👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧❤️
Mr. McGrady, it's always a pleasure to watch you. Your stories are wonderful and your creations always look delicious. 😋🤤
This video brings back very old memories. As a young child this was one of the first things we learned in the kitchen from my mother. Her British heritage must have kicked in because Christmas wasn't Christmas without trifle. Her recipe came from an old 1950s British cookbook. Swiss roll, ladies fingers biscuits or sponge cake in the bottom, tinned quava or peaches, then layer after layer (usually about four) of different colored jelly - orange, green, red, yellow. Clearly she loved jelly! Then custard on top. Took all day making this as she didn't want us to start the next layer of jelly till she was sure the previous layer is well set. Will always think of my mother when I see trifle! Thanks for yet another wonderful video. I have your cookbook that you referred to in this video. Will surely go look up your recipe. Merry Christmas, Darren!🎅🎄🎁🎶
Love Winston and of course the triffle. Thank you so much for sharing.
I’m from the USA and have never had a proper trifle, I’m going to try making one!
I LOVE English Trifle my favorite, I always make my own custard like you. Thank you.
This brought back happy Christmas memories of my grandmothers trifle...she would have to assure me that "yes I made one" as I walked in the door, and I would go look lovingly at it 😋💖
Merry Christmas, Darren. Your program is so much fun and delicious, too. Thank you.
My mother made it with the same fruit you do and she used leftover pound cake for the cake part. She made her own pudding as well! Delicious!!!
Hello Tanya, how are you doing
There's no way this can't be good! So many wonderful layers!
Oh, thank you, Chef. When I get an English recipe,from you, I know it’s authentic and it’s rocks! Best of health , prosperity and peace to you and your family for 2021! Winston needs a mate for 2021!
“Every family has their own recipe for trifle.”
Monica: “I KNOW!”
Really perfect! The triffle!
Trifle has been a family tradition in our house forever. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Chocolate cake, pudding and cool whip (usually with some crushed oreos)
Thanks for the serotonin, Sir.
Thank you Darren I loved the English Traffol you just made.❤👏
Lovely job Darren. Loved this classic
I am from Spain but I spent my summer times in England. I remember this was my favorite dessert. I was in a house where they made it with jelly also. Children love it with jelly!
Looks fantastic!
Your videos continue getting better and better. I love watching you cooking. You are a man of many talents. Merry Christmas Chef Darren! Blessings for you and your family. 🎄🎅Thanks for introducing Winston.
Thank you, Chef!
Beautiful Truffle.
I know trifle is traditionally made in a big bowl and then scooped out. I've been making individual ones, using small glass bowls. It does take a bit longer to prepare.. The benefit is that everyone gets an equal amount of each layer.
Hello Mary, how are you doing
My all-time favorite dessert since I was young.
Looks so good
Would love to see at least a couple new videos a week! Love sitting down with a cup of tea and watching your channel 🤗
You have this American home cook feeling brave enough to give this ago! Thank you!
I've never had trifle like this, but I would try it , it does look very good!
Thanks for sharing I'm definitely trying this with a twist x
Oh my goodness Darren , I must try making this trifle , it looks absolutely delicious .😋
Happy holidays! Now I want dessert

Wow!! It looks amazing
Your Trifle looks delicious! I've always made mine similar to yours. Homemade custard is a must! Merry Christmas, Darren!
I used the Adele Davis Cookbook cake recipe and it turned out wonderfully. No booze, no jams.
Hello Margaret, how are you doing
That trifle looks so easy yet healthy an yummy
Looks really good
love your personality and love your recipes
Happy Christmas to you and your family especially the darling Winston!!
Hello Jean, how are you doing
That looks wonderful! Greetings from Scotland!
Such a delightful dessert
What a beautiful day sir it makes me so hungry! And it’s just breakfast time here. You take care of her and I wish I could have a little inkling of what your life was like; I bet it was wonderful serving for the queen and Lady Di and her children. Good luck to you sir.
Fantastic !!!
Good day Mr. Darrell Credi I just wanted to tell you thank you so much for showing me all these new recipes I love them especially the shortbread’s they’re the closest to my grandma Anderson’s from Scotland than any of the other ones I have tried. I hope you have a Merry merry Christmas sir
Merry Christmas and happy holidays 🎉🌺🎄
Wonderful!
I feel like I haven’t seen you like forever. I REALLY enjoy your Show.
One of your Top Fans. ☺️
I miss those junket tablets they used to make. My nan would use them to make desserts as a kid, I still crave it sometimes.
Yes, trifle is definitely a timeless dessert! I actually grew to like trifle when I was in university. I remember in the cafeteria, there would be these mini trifle cups with sponge cake, blueberries, vanilla pudding, and whipped cream that I would like to get every lunchtime they were available. They were really good, and small portions too. I actually have heard of trifle having alcohol in it, but I don't really drink alcohol. Although homemade custard does sound like a much better idea than vanilla pudding.
By the way, I really love Winston! I think once I move out of my parents' house, I might get a corgi myself. They're so cute!
This looks amazing! I love your videos:)
Super yummy!Thank you.
I think this may be my newest favorite channel!
This is going to cause another binge-watching of Darren videos 😄😋
I don't like trifle myself but I am wondering if they ever had tiramisu in the Royal Family. Very well made though and loved the story which went with it.
Love the addition of Drambue
Top with flaked almonds and halved grapes....
I love this💫
I don’t cook but love watching Darren videos. And just watching him make his trifle wanted to crawl in the tv to grab it❤❤
That looks SO good, Sir!!
Quickly becoming my fave
An excellent summer trifle from the southern US includes cornbread, whipped cream, and peaches. No custard or alcohol, but it's done in several layers and it's delicious. The salty cornbread is a wonderful contrast with the sweet peaches.
I would sit and watch my grandma Anderson (who was from Scotland ), make the trifle ; and it just seemed like it was just full of berries and she used like a pound cake and she would cut it into ladyfingers...so my favorite was she let me lick the bowl of whip cream so it was delicious.
