Morrisons Trifle Sponges, Pack of 8

Product Information

The eggs, and sometimes extra yolks, are beaten with sugar and heated at the same time to a stage known to patissiers as the ribbon stage. Is it even Christmas without trifle? This is my tried and true recipe for adelicious summer berry trifle that’s made using store bought ingredients. Tiramisu is one of the most popular Italian desserts – and trifle sponge fingers are a must-have ingredient! Without trifle sponge fingers, your tiramisu will simply not taste the same. These delicious sponges feature a unique texture that turns creamy when soaked in coffee and sweet liqueur, making them an ideal complement for the iconic mascarpone cream. Add another layer of cake using the remaining cake slices, drizzling over 2 tablespoons of cranberry juice. Then, add one third of the fresh fruit and the remaining jelly squares. You get the purists who make everything from scratch, you get booze soaked trifles… and then you get my really easy trifle recipe.

Put the fruit into a saucepan, add the sugar, then cook gently until the sugar has dissolved and the liquid is slightly syrupy. Remove half of the berries and juice to a bowl, stir in a tablespoon of cassis, then set aside to cool. Whip the cream until soft peaks form when you remove the whisk from the mixture. Spoon the cream over the top of the trifle, starting from the outside and working in. This will avoid the cream sinking into the custard.For the filling, arrange the remaining six slices in the base of the dish. Crumble the ratafia biscuits over the top. Today I’m so excited to share this delicious, homemade simple trifle sponge fingers recipe with you! Whether you have gluten sensitivity or not, these trifle sponge fingers are super easy to make, and you’ll have delicious trifle or tiramisu in no time! Genoise sponge for trifles Although the recipe shared uses raspberries, blueberries and strawberries, you can use any of the many berries you can source. Combine and try…

Cut the madeira cake into 1cm/½in slices. Give the fruity jelly a stir - it should be softly set. Layer the cake, jelly, fruit and juice in the bottom of a trifle dish (roughly 20cm/8in diameter). Add the apple juice to the fruit in the pan, and bring to a simmer. Taste the fruit, and add a little more sugar if necessary. Remove from the heat, and add the remaining cassis. For the Swiss roll, whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture is light and frothy and the whisk leaves a trail when lifted out. Sift the flour into the mixture and carefully fold it in. Turn the mixture into the prepared tin and give it a gentle shake so that the mixture finds its own level, making sure that it has spread evenly to the corners. Vegan Double Cream You must use a whippable double cream that will form soft peaks - my go-to choice is this Elmlea Plant Double that whips really well, but if you're in a rush you can buy cans of squirty vegan cream in most supermarkets. Another great alternative is to put a tin of coconut milk in the fridge overnight, pour away the clear liquid and whip the solid white section with the icing sugar - really lovely. You might need two tins depending on the size of your trifle dish. It’s one of those no-fuss desserts that are really fun to throw together – and much easier than something like a Pavlova. And there are basically no rules! It’s supposed to be messy but oh-so-tasty, you’ll be reaching for seconds. WHAT IS TRIFLE?Pour over another 1 cup of custard. Scatter the remaining fruit over the top. Cover the top with plastic wrap and leave in the fridge for at least 4-6 hours or even better, overnight. Frozen Berries are ideal here so you can make this berry trifle at any time of year. I like this summer fruits mix, but any similar mix of berries will do. Or use fresh berries instead if you prefer, (and you can omit the sprinkle of caster sugar if you do, as fresh berries are a little sweeter already). Turn the cake out onto the sugared parchment and peel off the paper. Trim the edges of the sponge with a sharp knife to give straight clean edges. Make a score mark running down one of the long sides, about 2cm/1in in from the edge, being careful not to cut right through. Trifle sponges have been known to stay fresh for several weeks and even months when stored correctly. If trifle sponge fingers are kept in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and at cooler temperatures, they can last longer. Place in freezer bags and store in the freezer

Ideally, your trifle will have time in the fridge to soak – overnight is perfect. All the flavours will meld together and the cake will soften. It tastes just how you would expect – sweet, creamy and altogether delightful. HOW TO MAKE PERFECT TRIFLE Throw together a super easy trifle in no time with our retro trifle recipe. Totally yummy dessert that’s ideal for serving at parties, celebrations or after Sunday lunch. Combine 150ml/5fl oz of the pear juice drained from the tin with the sherry and sprinkle it over the sponge and crumbled biscuits. Level the surface by pressing down with a spoon and leave to soak while you make the custard. Trifle sponges are a somewhat British ingredient but are no more than dry sponge cakes. As the cakes are dry they have the capacity to soak up a fair amount of liquid in a trifle, which makes them soft and also flavours the sponges.Whisk the egg whites until they are firm and hold their shape, then fold gently into the yolk mixture. To help the cake soak up all the flavours, it’s drizzled with cranberry juice. Again, if you prefer another liquid, like apple juice or a liquor, you can use that. But cranberry juice works really well with all the berry flavours that are going on in my Trifle recipe. To assemble, line the bottom of a 12-cup trifle bowl with half (approximately 3 cups) of your cake slices. Press slices up along the sides of the bowl (see photo below). Drizzle cake slices with 2 tablespoons of cranberry juice. Besides giving your tiramisu an unbeatable aroma and look, trifle sponge fingers help hold the layers together like nothing else. So next time you whip up tiramisu, don’t forget to make some trifle sponge fingers to make it extra special! Ingredients for gluten-free trifle sponge recipe
