In the Cauldron

Edition #09

By: Zyan Bramen
Hello and Welcome to the revived series of 'In the Cauldron' our recipe blog where we create and share Harry Potter/IG seasonal baked goods for you try out.

Now on WoP US the sumer holidays are starting to approach so in honour of our students upcoming freedom, let's celebrate with a delightfully summery dish.

So on todays menu we have Trifle! (Not one with mince in it I promise ;D)

Trifle is a very englishy dessert, including everyone's favourites of cake, cream, custard and a teeny bit of fruit to keep the parentals happy.

So what are you waiting for, go get the jelly in the fridge and we can get started.

The Trifle

Ingredients:
Custard (premade for convenience or you could give it a go yourself if you're feeling fancy)
Cake, vanilla is recommended but go wild (this is a great use of some slightly stale cake, if you have any that you forgot about)
600ml thickened cream
400g tinned fruit of choice (I recommend peaches)
Handful of Berries (these are for topping)

Recipe:

In a large bowl layer thick slices of cake covering the bottom and sides of the bowl.
Cover with custard and jelly then place in the fridge to set. Once set cover the jelly layer with the cram and then add the remaining cake. Cver again with custard and jelly.
Once this has set and the jelly is firm remove from the fridge and cover with the tinned fruit more whipped cream and decorate with berries.
