Guests are sure to think spring when they see and taste this delectable trifle from field editor Wendy Dowling of Port Moulton, Nova Scotia. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup cornstarch |
3 cups whole milk |
5 egg yolks, beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
filling: |
4 cups chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb |
1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup water |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
1 prepared angel food cake (8 to 10 ounces), cut into 1-inch cubes |
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries |
Directions:
1. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
2. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in vanilla. Transfer to a large bowl. Cool to room temperature without stirring.
3. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, bring the rhubarb, sugar and water to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 5-8 minutes or until rhubarb is tender and mixture is thickened. Cool completely.
4. In a bowl, beat the cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold a fourth of the whipped cream into the custard. Fold in remaining whipped cream.
5. Place half of the cake cubes in a 2-1/2-qt. trifle bowl. Spread with half of the rhubarb mixture; top with 1 cup of strawberries and half of the custard. Repeat layers. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Yield: 12-14 servings.
