How to make Raspberry Trifle
Prepare Jelly
Make the jelly according to package instructions and pour it into the trifle bowl. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes, then refrigerate for 1.5 hours.
Once the jelly is thick and syrupy, add the raspberries and return to the fridge until fully set for 4-5 hours.
Prepare Custard
Make the custard according to package instructions. Cook over low heat while stirring with a wire whisk to avoid lumps.
Once thick, push the custard through a sieve for a smoother texture. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent skin forming and cool for about 15 minutes.
Assemble Trifle
Slice the sponge roll and arrange along the sides and bottom of the trifle bowl over the jelly.
Pour the custard over the cake until it reaches the top of the trifle bowl. Allow to come to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Finish and Decorate
Whip the double cream with icing sugar until soft and floppy, then spoon over the custard.
Decorate with pomegranate seeds, pistachios, or fresh raspberries.

FAQS
How do I make raspberry trifle with alternative ingredients for dietary restrictions?
If you're looking to make a raspberry trifle that accommodates dietary restrictions, consider using gluten-free sponge cake instead of the traditional sponge roll. For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk and double cream with almond milk and coconut cream. You can also use a plant-based custard powder to keep it vegan-friendly.
What is the best way to store leftover raspberry trifle?
To store leftover raspberry trifle, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. However, for the best texture and flavor, it's recommended to consume it within 24 hours.
Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh raspberries in my trifle recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen raspberries in your raspberry trifle. Just make sure to thaw them and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the trifle. This will help maintain the texture and prevent the jelly from becoming too watery.
What can I pair with raspberry trifle for a complete dessert experience?
Raspberry trifle pairs beautifully with a light dessert wine, such as Moscato or Prosecco, which complements the sweetness of the trifle. You can also serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of yogurt for added creaminess.
How long does it take for the jelly to set in the raspberry trifle?
The jelly in your raspberry trifle should be refrigerated for about 4-5 hours to fully set. It's important to allow it to cool for about 20 minutes at room temperature before placing it in the fridge to ensure it thickens properly.
