Ingredients

Servings
  • 6 slices or pieces of pound cake enough to cover the bottom of the bowl(s)
  • seedless blackberry jam I couldn’t find this, so I used seedless raspberry
  • brandy
  • a can of peach and pear pieces
  • raspberry gelatin Jello, prepared, but make it so you can put the dessert together before it is completely set
  • Bird’s custard or homemade egg custard (you can use vanilla pudding, but it won’t taste as good)
  • 4 oz good quality dark chocolate
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 pint heavy organic whipping cream
  • 1 packet of Cadbury’s Chocolate Buttons or a Cadbury’s Flake bar Cost Plus has them

Instructions

  1. Spread the jam on the pieces of pound cake and place on the bottom of the ramekin or bowl you are using.
  2. Sprinkle the cake with brandy, as much or as little as you like.
  3. Add some peach and pear pieces on top of the cake (I didn’t have pear!)
  4. Next, layer on the rasberry gelatin, just before it has completely set (see pic.). Place the trifles in the fridge while you make the custard.
  5. Prepare the Bird’s custard according to the directions, but adding some chopped dark chocolate at the end, to make chocolate custard. You can also make homemade custard.
  6. When the chocolate custard has cooled, add a layer to each trifle.
  7. Next, add a layer of banana slices, then whip the cream.
  8. Top each trifle (if making individual servings) with whipped cream, just spooning it on as Sheila did, or piping it on, as I did. Add your favorite chocolates, like Cadbury’s Buttons or Flake!
