Glam Trifle with Amarula Cream
Happy New Year everyone.. Wishing you a very blessed, prosperous, healthy and happy 2013.
We were invited over to a dinner party for New Years Eve. I spotted this dessert on the cover of BBC Good Food January 2013 issue. So I decided to make it. It takes a little more time than my usual recipe picks. I had all the ingredients in the house so decided to give it a go.
Prep: 1 hr 30 mins, plus lots of chilling in between (so allow a morning or afternoon)
Cook: 10 mins
flavourless oil for greasing
1 shop bought large Madeira loaf cake
250ml / 9fl oz double cream2 tbsp icing sugar
few sprinkle (optional)
FOR THE CREAM LAYER
2 gelatine leaves
200ml / 9oz double cream3 tbsp sweet sherry
100g / 4 oz mascapone
4 tbsp icing sugar
FOR THE CUSTARD
2 gelatine leaves
3 tbsp custard powder
3 tbsp icing sugar
400ml / 14 fl oz milk
FOR THE JELLY LAYER
135g pack raspberry jelly
350g / 12 oz frozen raspberries, defrosted
1. Grease a 900g loaf tin, then line with cling film - as smooth as you can get it. Use 1 long strip of baking parchment to line the base and ends of the tin, leaving some sticking up at each end to help you pull the loaf free later. Criss-cross another piece of parchment to line the base and longer sides.
2. For the cream layer, soak the gelatine in cold water. Gently warm the cream and sherry in the saucepan. When the gelatine is softened, squeeze out excess water, take the cream off the heat and stir in the gelatine until dissolved. Gently whisk the marscapone and icing sugar and add cooled cream. Scrape into the tin and bang a couple of time to level. Chill until set about an hour.
3. Start each following layer while previous layer is chilling. For the custard layer, soak the gelatine in cold water. Make up the custard following pack instructions, but using the quantities we've given. When the gelatine is soft, squeeze excess water, remove the custard from the heat and stir in the gelatine until melted. Lay cling film directly on the surface of the custard to stop a skin forming, then cool. Once room temp scrape into the tin on top of the set cream layer as above. Chill again till set.
4. Make up the raspberry jelly following pack instructions but using 300ml hot water. Whizz 150g rasberriess then sieve and to jelly. Cool to room temp, then scatter remaining raspberries over set custard and pour over jelly and chill until almost set.
5. Trim the brown edges from the Madeira cake then cut it lengthways into big slices 1.5 - 2cm thick. Cover the jelly with the sponge, like a puzzle, using a few bits as possible. Push slightly into the jelly, then cover with cling film and chill until completely set.
6. To Serve, turn upside down onto your serving plate. Ease the loaf from tin using the over lapping parchment paper and gently peel off the cling film, then the parchment.
