Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 inch round vanilla sponge cake or pound cake
  • 1/4 cup berry jam or preserves
  • 3 Tablespoons custard powder Bird's brand
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups milk whole
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract divided, pure
  • 1 Tablespoon butter unsalted
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt flaky
  • 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 2 cups fresh berries washed, sliced if needed

Instructions

  1. Use a lid or biscuit cutter to cut out 4 small rounds of sponge cake. Slice them in half horizontally with a serrated knife.
  2. Spread a tablespoon of jam or preserves on the bottom round of cake and top with the remaining round. Press your jam sandwiches into the bottom of the jars.
  3. In a small pot, whisk together custard power, sugar and milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking all the time. When the custard has thickened and begins to bubble, cook for 1 full minute then remove from heat.
  4. Add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla, the butter and flaky salt to the custard. Whisk until the butter is melted. Cool slightly.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of custard over the cake in the jam jars. Cool custard completely while you prepare the fruit and cream layers.
  6. Whip the cream to soft peaks. Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla and the powdered sugar. Now you are ready to finish your mini trifles.
  7. Divide the berries among the jars of cake and cooled custard. Top with whipped cream, filling right to the top. Screw the lids on top. Voila! Your berries and cream mini trifles are ready to serve.
  8. Enjoy your dessert immediately, or chill the jars for up to 2 days. I find them best after a 4-5 hour chill in the fridge to let the flavours meld a bit.
