Super delicious and super easy to prepare.
.........and you need super workout too ! LOL
Mentalnotes: Use trifle bowl for an exquisite display
The ingredients:
4 egg yolks
4tbsp corn starch
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups fresh milk
Chocolate bars - bitter sweet [ikut kegemaran. Jgn over excited takut nanti ter-pahitt]
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 packages cream cheese [optional]
Swiss roll / sponge cake [in order to do 2 layers, u need 2 swiss rolls. However, depends on size & shape of your bowl]
Canned mixed fruits / fresh fruits i.e strawberry
2 small boxes whipped cream [try to get non-dairy whipped cream. A lot more easier to handle]
Sugar syrup
Making the sugar syrup
Boil 1 cup sugar , 1 cup water with 2tbsp vanilla essence. Levae to cool.
Making your very own custard
1) Mixture A: Heat 2 cups milk under slow heat. Just below a simmer not to boil !
2) Mixture B: Add corn starch, sugar and egg yolks together. Whisk just a little. Add 1 cup milk to make it easier to blend.
3) Gradually pour Mixture A into Mixture B. Keep whisking.
4) Add everything back to the pot and under slow heat keep whisking till the custard begin to thicken, shiny and glossy.
5) Pour the hot custard into the bowl of chocolate bar. It will melt the chocolate bars instantly. Add the vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
Cover with plastic wrap to avoid skin formation on the surface of the custard. Leave to cool and keep in fridge at least 2 hours.
1) beat the room temp. cream cheese ------OPTIONAL. Add this item if you want your trifle almost like cheese cake flavour
2) Add 1/3 of choc custard slowly and mix well.
3) Add the remaining choc custard and continue mixing untill well combined.
Methods:
1) 1st layer : Layer the swiss roll/sponge cake at the bottom of the bowl.
2) Splash some sugar syrup on it. Just to keep the cake moist and sweet. Tak perlu habiskan all the sugar syrup okie. Nanti diabetess ! Swiss roll itself memang dah manis.
3) 2nd layer : Pour evenly some choc custard on top of the cake.
4) 3rd layer : Sprinkle fresh strawberry/canned mixed fruit on top of the custard.
5) Repeat the layers
6) Cover the layers with a layer of cream
[whip 2 small boxes cream with 2tbsp sugar. Do not over beat the cream as it will curdle and separate !]
7) Garnish with grated chocolate or fresh strawberry
Done! Oppss ! Triffle is best served chilled. Let it set up in fridge for 2 - 24hrs. Lagi lama lagi cantik dan sedap.
Kena banyak bersabar....gulp ! but it's worthwhile to wait tho.....heheheeee
So, kalo esok mother in law nak mai , hari nie dah kena buat siap-siap simpan dalam peti ais noooo....ahaks !
