BANANA AND CHERRY TRIFLE PUDDING

Trifle pudding is a delicious dessert made by layering sponge cake with fruits and custard. It is best served chilled and is an ideally served after dinner. I have used bananas and cherries here, but you can any other fruit of your choice.

Ingredients

Plain vanilla cake squares

2 large bananas cut into slices
1/2 cup cherries

For the custard

4 tbsp Custard powder

1 litre boiled milk

12 tbsp sugar

For the sugar syrup

6 tbsp Sugar

3 tbsp water

Method

• First prepare the custard. For this heat milk in a pan, when it has reached luke warm state, take 1 cup of it and add custard powder.
• Mix well such that there are no lumps.
• Bring the milk to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for about 10 minutes so that the milk thickens.
• Increase the heat, add sugar and mix well.
• When the sugar has dissolved, add the milk with custard powder and stir well.
• Cook for a couple of minutes till the custard thickens.
• Switch off the gas and keep ready.
• For the sugar syrup, heat sugar in a pan, add few drops of water and heat till the sugar melts and you get a golden brown colour. Add some more water to form a syrup. Make sure not to burn the sugar as it will give a bitter taste.
• Allow both the custard and syrup to cool down completely before assembling them for the trifle.
• Now for the assembly, take a square dish and line it with a layer of cake pieces.

• Pour 2 tbsp of caramelized sugar syrup on top.

• Layer this with banana slices and pour custard on top such that it covers the bananas completely.

• Repeat the process once more and finally garnish with cherries.

• Place this inside the refrigerator and refrigerate for atleast 4 hours.

• Once set, you can serve as it is or transfer to small glasses and enthrall your family.
