This trifle is layers of sponge cake, fresh berries, homemade pudding, and whipped cream,
simply assembled into a beautiful dessert,
and I'm showing you how to make it today on The Stay At Home Chef.
I love making these for parties or any get together.
It's a real showstopper of dessert, but it's so easy to put together.
The different elements in our trifle are, starting with the cake,
in which we are using The Stay At Home Chef's angel food cake recipe,
homemade vanilla pudding, which I am going to show you the perfect recipe for,
the fresh berries that can really be any assortment that you want,
and of course homemade whipped cream.
Our homemade vanilla pudding needs to be made first so it can cool,
so we're going to head over to the stove and get that started,
by melting 5 tablespoons of butter over low-medium heat.
Once your butter's melted you're going to add in 3 tablespoons of corn starch,
whisk together and let that cook for about 1 minute.
Whisk in 4 cups of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar.
Stir this continually while increasing the heat slowly to medium-high.
Once that cream mixture starts to bubble and thicken, immediately turn off the heat and remove from the stove.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips and blend until smooth.
Pour that into a bowl,
cover that nice and tightly,
and then pop that into your fridge for about 30 minutes, until it's completely cooled.
That vanilla pudding you guys is so good, but back to the other ingredients.
Simply cube up an angel food cake into 2-inch cubes,
slice the berries if needed into smaller bite-sized pieces,
and make the whipped cream by adding into a chilled bowl 3 cups of heavy cream and 1/3 powdered sugar,
and get to whipping.
and whip that for 5-7 minutes until stiff peaks form.
Now I love making fresh homemade whipped cream and vanilla pudding, but in a pinch you can definitely use store-bought.
To start the layering of the trifle add in about 3 cups of those angel food cake cubes into the bottom of a trifle dish.
spreading onto that layer the best you can about 2 cups of the vanilla pudding,
spread across that about two cups of berries,
and onto the berry layer two2cups of whipped cream, and then simply repeat.
3 cups of cake,
2 cups of that delicious vanilla pudding,
sprinkle on 2 cups of berries,
and spread on that remaining whipped cream.
Now stand back and look at that beautiful masterpiece.
Top it with a few berries to give it the perfect final touch.
Trifle is really best if you let it chill for at least 2 hours.
Those layers are gonna shake hands with each other and be the best that they can be.
Thanks for watching.
