Ingredients

Scale
  • 135g / 2 cups raspberry jelly
  • 125g / 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 500g / 17 oz raspberry or strawberry cream sponge roll
  • 1½ uk pints / 3½ us cups whole milk
  • 1/2 uk pint / 1/2 us cup double cream/heavy whipping cream

  • 4 tbsp icing (powdered) sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

  1. Prepare the jelly according to package instructions; pour it into the trifle bowl and chill for 20 minutes, then refrigerate for 1½ hours until thick.
  2. Drop the raspberries into the set jelly and return to fridge for another 4-5 hours until fully set.
  3. Follow the custard package instructions; cook on low while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Push through a sieve for smooth texture.
