Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Strawberries
- 300 grams Sponge cake or pound cake
- 1 packet Vanilla pudding mix
- 500 ml Milk
- 300 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Strawberry jam
- 5 leaves Fresh mint (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them evenly and set aside.
Prepare the vanilla pudding by following the instructions on the packet. Typically, this requires whisking the pudding mix with 500 ml of milk until thickened. Set the pudding aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Cut the sponge cake or pound cake into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
In a small bowl, mix the strawberry jam with 1 tablespoon of water to create a thin glaze. This will enhance the flavor and add moisture to the cake layers.
Assemble the trifle in a large glass bowl or individual serving glasses. Start by layering the bottom with sponge cake cubes. Drizzle a small amount of the strawberry jam glaze over the cake.
Add a layer of sliced strawberries, followed by a layer of vanilla pudding. Top with a layer of whipped cream.
Repeat the layers (cake, jam, strawberries, pudding, whipped cream) until all the ingredients are used up, finishing with a generous layer of whipped cream on top.
Garnish with a few slices of strawberries and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1–2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Serve chilled and enjoy!
