A trifle of this and a trifle of that. Our family understanding of how trifle evolved. Known as a poor man's dessert - a trifle was a combination of desserts from the week - maybe one day you had custard - the next was cake. Read more . Tossed together and served in a crystal bowl. This is our version.
Ingredients:
sunbeam pound cake - see recipe on this site - best if dried out a day or so.
bird's custard mix
fruit of choice
1 or 2 cartons of heavy whipping cream for whipped topping
Directions:
1. Use a big bowl for this! :)
2. Break pound cake down into bite sized pieces.
3. Prepare Bird's custard according to package instructions.
4. Add hot custard to pound cake bits.
5. Add fruit of choice - we love to use canned pineapple tidbits. Strawberries are great too!
6. Fold all ingredients together gently.
7. Whipped Topping
8. Using a mixer - beat heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks.
9. We prefer to leave the cream unsweetened. It enhances the flavor of the trifle.
10. This is just our version of a great dessert! Have fun with it!
