Ingredients

Method

255g / 9oz Sponge cake (plain)
570mls / 1pt Strawberry Jelly
400g / 14oz Fresh Strawberries (sliced)
40g / 1½oz Custard powder + 570ml / 1pt Milk
25g / 1oz Sugar
300ml Double/Heavy Cream
6ml / 1tsp Vanilla extract
10g / 2tsp Icing/powdered Sugar
Grated Chocolate for topping

Cut the sponge cake into 2.5cm / 1in cubes, and get them into 2ltr trifle bowl, or any other 2ltr bowl.
Wash and slice the strawberries and place them in the bowl too.
Make up the strawberry jelly/Jell-O according to the instructions of the brand you are using and pour it over the sponge and fruit.
Cover the bowl and get it into the fridge until it sets.
Make up the custard, using custard powder as shown in the video.
Once the custard is cool and the jelly set, spoon the custard onto the jelly and spread it out and level it off, cover and chill again for 30 minutes.

Making up the Chantilly cream, pour the cream into a bowl, add the icing sugar and vanilla, and whisk until thick as seen in the video, chill for 15 minutes.
Spoon the cream on top of the custard and spread it out, I find a fork is the best tool for this.
Clean up any cream around the top of the glass trifle bowl with kitchen paper.
Finely grate a little milk or dark chocolate over the top of the trifle.
And that is it, your Strawberry family size trifle is ready to serve.
Serve on a dessert plate with some sliced fresh strawberries at the side.
Enjoy.
