Individual Strawberry Trifles Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips with cream over low heat; stir until blended. Remove from the heat; stir in orange juice. Cool to room temperature., In four dessert glasses or bowls, layer with strawberries, cake cubes and chocolate mixture.

Steps:

• In a small shallow casserole dish, toss the strawberries with vinegar and let stand at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. After the strawberries have marinated, check for sweetness, adding sugar if desired.
• In a large bowl using an electric mixer, whisk the cream to soft peaks. Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar. Whip until stiff peaks. Set aside.
• Using a serrated knife, slice pound cake lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices. You will only need 2 slices. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out 2 circles from each cake slice. Line up 2 high ball glasses (about 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 4 1/2 to 5 inches high) and place 1 cake circle in the bottom of each. Brush cakes with amaretto liqueur. Add 2 tablespoons of marinated strawberries and spread evenly. Using a different tablespoon, add a large dollop of whipped cream and spread evenly. Add a second layer of cake, pressing down lightly. Brush with amaretto liqueur. Add 2 tablespoons of marinated strawberries and spread evenly. Top with a large dollop of whipped cream, spreading evenly. Cover each glass with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator until serving. Use remaining cake, cream and strawberries to create a more humble trifle dish.
• Cover trifles with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours so that the flavors can marry.
• About 15 minutes before serving, take trifles out of the refrigerator so that they can warm slightly. Grate a generous shower of amaretto cookie over top and garnish with a mint sprig.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease and line the base of a 20 cm round cake tin. Whisk the two eggs and 60g sugar with a handheld whisk until pale and fluffy. Fold in the flour well, being sure to scrape to the bottom. Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 10-12 mins.
• Prepare the jelly with the water. Cut out rounds of your sponge and place in the bottom of the trifle dish. Pour over all of the prepared jelly. Leave in the fridge for 6+ hours, preferably overnight. If you are in a rush, freeze for 1 hour then place in the fridge until set.
• Make the custard. Whisk together the egg yolks and 30g sugar. Heat the milk until almost boiling, then gradually pour over the yolks and sugar. Whisk in 2 tbsp cornflour. Return to the heat and whisk on low for 10 minutes until the custard is thick. Leave to cool for 30 minutes then pour over the jelly sponge. Place in the fridge to chill.
• Remove the trifle from the fridge when cool. Whip the cream to soft peaks, and spread over the trifle. Decorate with the toppings in a decorative pattern. Chill for 2+ hours before serving with a large spoon.
