RECIPE: 

INGREDIENTS:

·       White Milk – 750mls

·       Tetrapak cream – 200mls

·       Sugar – According to taste (around half to 3/4 cup)

·       Vanilla flavored Instant Custard Powder – 3 to 4 tablespoons

·       Vanilla Essence – Few drops
        McVities Digestive Biscuits – 1 small packet

·       Cocktail Fruits -1 tin (Optional)

·       Instant Jelly Crystals (Banana, Strawberry, Orange flavors) – As Required

·       Chocolate Cigars – As Required

METHOD:

Pre-Preparation:

a. Make a medium consistency custard using the milk, sugar, custard powder and vanilla essence (Instructions for making custard are on the back of the packet). Adjust the amount of custard powder to achieve desired consistency.

b. Take the Digestive biscuits and either grind them in a blender/food processor or Put them in a plastic bag (zip lock bag or polythene bag) and crush them using a rolling pin (I personally prefer the second method). Take out the biscuit crumb and add a few tablespoons of milk to slightly moisten it.

c. Also prepare the jelly according to the packet instructions but use lesser water than instructed to get a really firm jelly.
d. Take out the cream in a bowl and gently whisk it to get a runny consistency.

Preparation:

1.    Now select suitable glasses to make the trifle for individual servings or you can just make it in a big bowl. Start by putting the biscuit crumbs at the bottom and press them firmly by using your hands or a flat spoon.
2.    Leave the crumble for 15 minutes in the fridge for it to settle down. After that pour the cool custard over the crumble (in case of making in bowl) or dollop suitable amount of custard into the glasses (in case of individual servings).
3.    Then add a third layer of jelly over the custard.
4.    Finally pour over the cream till the glasses are full to the brim or you get a good layer over the jelly in the bowl.
5.    Now its upto you for how to decorate the trifle. You can use the biscuit crumbs for a garnish; You can use wafers or chocolate cigars, or grated chocolate or MnM's; ANYTHING you can get your hands on!
6.    Do the garnishing, and leave it in the fridge for at least 4 to 5 hours! Take it out, Grab a spoon and enjoy the deliciousness!!!!
Note: After making the custard, if you want you can add some cocktail fruits for extra deliciousness! Make sure that the custard is really cooled down before making the layers. Enjoy!
