Notes:
Ingredients:
Serves 10
- 1 pack- Sponge cake/I have used tutti frutti cake slices
- 1 tbsp – Chia seeds
- Strawberry jelly prepared as per instructions on the package
- Nuts chopped for garnishing (Almonds,pistachios)
- 2 tbsp – Custard powder (I have used vanilla custard powder)
- 4 tbsp – Sugar (or add as per you sweet level)
- 4 cups / 1 litre – Milk
- 1 cup – Apple chopped (or add any fruits of your choice)
- 1 cup – Banana chopped
- 1 cup – Blueberry
Preparation method:
Making of fruit custard:
- Heat 3 1/2 cup milk in a sauce pan, reserve the 1/2 cup to mix the custard powder and add sugar, mix well and bring it to boil.
- Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl add custard powder and slowly add 1/2 cup of reserved milk(Luke warm), mix well thoroughly without any lumps.
- When milk is hot, add the custard powder mixture slowly and continue to mix well over low or medium flame.
- The mixture will start thickening so you have to be very cautious and keep stirring you reach a creamy consistency. It should be like pouring consistency.
- Switch off the stove and allow the custard mixture to cool down completely. I used to cover with a lid with enough vent for the steam to release, to avoid drying on top.
- Once it reached luke warm stage, strain the custard using strainer or filter, this step helps the custard free of lumps.
- Transfer this strained custard to a mixie jar and quick grind with 1 or 2 pulses(quick grind mode in Preeti mixie). Do not grind it for longer time, it may curdle. This step helps the custard to be creamy and smooth in texture.
- Refrigerate until you are ready to serve. It will get thicker and a jelly like consistency.
- Take the custard from the refrigerator, add all the chopped fruits and mix well. Finally top it with chia seeds and tutti frutti and serve cold.
- Soak 1 tbsp of chia seeds in enough water for 15 to 20 mins. It will enlarge and become like a jelly, set it aside.
- Prepare strawberry jelly as per the instructions on the package. Chop it to add it in the trifle.
- Take a serving pan/baking pan, layer the tutti frutti cake as shown in the video, add the fruit custard, soaked chia seeds, jelly and finally chopped nuts. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until serving. Serve it cold.
- The consistency of custard mixture should be a little watery because when you refrigerate, it will automatically thickens.
- Process of straining and quick grinding helps the custard to be lump free, smooth and creamy in texture.
- You may use any fruits of your choice. Try to avoid any citric fruits as it may affect the taste of the dessert.
- Fruit custard should be served cold for better taste and texture.
- You may add any jelly flavor of choice like pineapple,orange etc.
