A trifle is like a cake and custard and fruit dessert.

It's super simple to put together.

I think that's why it's called a trifle on.

My grandma really loved to make things, and I haven't had one and probably like 20 years.

So I'm really excited to make it for you the way my grandma used to make it for me.

Okay, so this is basically just a really simple assembly.

I'm gonna use some store bought pound cake.

Lady fingers are traditionally used, but, um, my grandma always used poundcake.

For some reason, you could use a sponge cake or something like that.

One thing about my grandma is that she loved eat, but she hated to cook, so short cuts were welcome in her kitchen.

So you just want to get this in here and cut it up, as you need to to make sure that the whole bottom of your thing is covered.

I'm using a little straight cited glass dish here so that you could see all the layers, and then we're gonna Sprinkle this with a little bit of alcohol.

Not rubbing alcohol.

Amusing cream Sherry This was her favorite brand, Harvey's Bristol cream sherry.

And just smelling this totally reminds me of her house.

Not that she was an alcoholic, but she liked her.

Sherry.

So we're just gonna Sprinkle the pound cake with a little bit, maybe a tablespoon or something of this sherry.

And if you wanted to make it non alcoholic, working at all, you could just do some juice or some coffee and then it would sort of almost be a little bit like a tear.

Massu.

It's actually kind of a similar concept, and then we're gonna top it with some custard or putting in the US, and you can use a box like she always did, or you can make your own.

And I showed you how to make a, um, putting custard on the banana putting video.

I did a while back, so I'll put a link to that in the description box.

If you want to see how to make pudding, it's not hard, so I just want to make sure everything's covered.

Then I've got some raspberry preserves, and you could really use any kind of fur preserved that you want.

But I think Berries are particularly good.

So strawberry blueberry, But I'm gonna go for raspberry here, put a little bit of that, Anne and then some fresh raspberries and just gonna use my hands get dirty in there.

Kind of terrible of it.

Cause these air enormous these air.

Like, totally Cem.

Genetically modified raspberries, probably.

But whatever this is America, I'm pretty sure that trifles air also eaten in Australia and other places where England has had a big influence.

Then we top it with another layer of cake.

A little more alcohol.

Whoa.

That was kind of a lot.

How fun Hopes.

No, I'm kind of doing it on purpose.

Okay, a little bit more custard.

Once you've got all your layers, you can do 2 to 3 layers.

Depending on how much you're making and how big your container is.

We're gonna spread the whole top of it with some whipped cream.

And you can probably guess that my grandma used to use cool whip.

But this is just some heavy cream that I've whipped to soft peaks.

You can take it all the way to the edges.

Or you can leave a little bit of the fruit showing which I think is what I'm gonna do, because I think it looks really pretty to see all the other colors in there.

Okay.

And then you just top it off with some all months, so just decorate it with a little almonds.

And if you like more almonds, you can put almonds on the inside layers to.

But come on, just put him on top.

Probably cause they're kind of expensive.

Okay, there we go.

There is a beautiful, easy trifle little desert, so you can put it in the fridge and let it sit there for a few hours.

And that cake will just continue to absorb the booze, and all the flavors will get together.

Or you can eat it right away, which is what I'm about to d'oh not the whole thing, because come on, let's be realistic, but a little bit.

Just gonna have a little bit.

And this is why I straight cited.

Um, thing helps not only because it looks prettier, but makes it a little easier to serve.

Look how pretty that ISS.

That's just lovely, guys.

Okay, Delicious.

I can't wait to eat this.

Yeah, okay.

Oh, that was so good.

All right, well, there you go.
