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.
Tips & Tricks
If using frozen raspberries, reduce the amount of water added to the jelly.
For a smoother custard, blend it if it becomes lumpy.
