Instructions
Pudding:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring 2 cups of the milk to a boil.
- While the milk is heating, combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Gradually whisk in the remaining 2/3 cup milk, stirring until no clumps remain. Add the egg and whisk until smooth.
- Once the milk is boiling, slowly add it to the sugar mixture, stirring constantly.
- Return the entire mixture back to the saucepan, stirring constantly until it comes to a simmer. Cook for one more minute, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- (If the pudding has any lumps you can strain it through a fine mesh strainer.) Transfer pudding to a heat proof bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the surface of the pudding. Refrigerate until chilled completely. Store covered in the fridge.
Whipped Cream:
- Add the cream to a large mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixers on high speed for a few seconds. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and continue beating until stiff peaks.
Assembly:
- Cut or tear the angel food cake into chunks. Prepare fruit by washing and slicing as needed. Add a layer of cake pieces to the bottom of the trifle. Scoop several spoonfuls of pudding on top. Add a variety of the fruit, then a few spoonfuls of whipped cream. Repeat process until the trifle is filled. (I don't bother making "perfect" layers).
- Refrigerate until ready to serve, or for up to 2-3 days (the fruit in the trifle will taste best day-of).
Notes
- Pudding: Substitute your favorite flavor, or a large box of store-bought instant vanilla pudding. Prepare according to package instructions.
- Angel Food Cake: Here's a great homemade recipe, or you could substitute homemade or store-bought yellow cake or white cake.
- Fruit: use any fruit you like, or have on hand including strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, pineapple, mandarin oranges, grapes, bananas, kiwi.
- Make Ahead Instructions: The pudding can be made up to 5 days in advance, stored in the refrigerator. The angel food cake can be made a few days in advance, or frozen for several months.
