Trifle Pudding

Too many people home and wondering what to make for dessert? Here's a simple recipe which looks beautiful, tastes awesome and is super easy to make.

Ingredients
Strawberries (cut in segments)/cherries (cut in segments and de seeded)/oranges (fibres removed, de seeded and sliced)
Vanilla custard (1 packet but if making for 30 people or so use 21/2 packets)
Jelly (make sure that you use the fruit jelly that you are going to add to your trifle a different fruit and jelly will not taste good)
Mint springs to decorate (optional)
Chocolate chunks to decorate optional

Method
Make the jelly as per instructions. In the serving bowl add the cut fruit segments. Add the jelly when it comes to room temperature and allow it to rest. DO NOT MIX. Make the custard as per the instructions on the packet. Let the custard cool but do not let it get cold else it will get thick and pouring it over the jelly will be difficult. Add the plain custard over the jelly and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours. To serve, add cut fruit segments over the custard along with a spring of mint leaves. If you like the flavour of chocolate, you can also add small chocolate chips which are available in the market. Make sure not to add too many chocolate chip pieces unless you are making chocolate mousse trifle (see foot note).

PS: Never use different jellies and fruits while making trifle pudding as it will ruin the taste. Also add the jelly and custard at apt temperature it should neither be too hot or cold. If you are not a fan of fruits you can also make chocolate mousse trifle which tastes equally nice. While making chocolate mousse trifle, do not add chocolate chips in the trifle but add it for decoration. Also trifle puddings are made using berries and oranges do not make pineapple trifle as it tastes bitter. You can try making raspberry pudding as well.
