A fruit-filled trifle using a combination of whipping cream and sour cream to replicate a beloved English treat. Well worth the effort. Chill time not included. See my recipe for Victorian Hot Milk Sponge Cake for the sponge cake. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin |
1/2 cup water |
1 cup whipping cream, chilled |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 (8 ounce) carton sour cream |
4 cups fresh fruit, assorted such as raspberries, sliced strawberries, chopped peeled nectarines or 4 cups peaches, grapes or 4 cups cut-up peeled kiwi |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 recipe hot milk sponge cakes (victorian hot milk sponge cake) or 1 one 10 3/4 oz. frozen loaf pound cake, thawed |
1/4 cup peach brandy, amaretto, orange liqueur or 1/4 cup orange juice |
Directions:
1. For Devonshire Cream:.
2. In a small saucepan combine gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water; let stand 5 minutes to soften. Heat and stir over medium heat till gelatin dissolves. Cool.
3. In a chilled medium mixing bowl beat whipping cream, the 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium-low speed till soft peaks form (tips curl). Dot not overbeat.
4. Combine cooked gelatin mixture and sour cream; mix well. Fold the sour cream mixture into the whipped cream. Chill for 30 to 45 minutes or till mixture is thickened and will mound on a spoon.
5. Meanwhile, for fruit filling, in a large mixing bowl combine the fresh fruit and the 2 tablespoons sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes.
6. Cut the Hot Milk Sponge Cake or pound cake into 2x1/2 inch strips (smaller if using parfait glasses). In a 2 1/2 or 3 quart clear glass serving bowl, a souffle dish or individual parfait glasses arrange half of the cake strips on the bottom. Arrange half of the fruit on top the cake strips. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the brandy, liqueur or juice. Spoon half of the Devonshire cream on top. Repeat layers, piping or dolloping remaining Devonshire cream over top.
7. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours.
8. NOTE:.
9. If using peaches or nectarines, dip slices in a mixture of 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent discoloring.
