Strawberry Pancake Trifle Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake. Cool completely in pan, about 1 hour.
• While cake is cooling, in large bowl, beat pudding mixes into milk with whisk about 2 minutes or until blended.
• Cut or tear cake into 1-inch pieces. In 3 1/2-quart glass trifle bowl, arrange half the pieces, cutting pieces to fit shape of bowl. Pour half of the thawed strawberries (with syrup) over cake; spread with 2 cups of the pudding. Place remaining cake pieces on pudding and around edge of bowl. Top with remaining strawberries and pudding. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled.
• Spread whipped topping over top of cake. Sprinkle with almonds. Store covered in refrigerator up to 12 hours.

Steps:

• Mix the dry pancake items first.
• Combine the eggs and melted butter to the milk and slowly stir into the flour mixture.
• Let sit at least 10 minutes while heating the pan.
• Put a ladle of pancake mix into buttered pan and flip when risen and cook other side for 2 minutes
• Meanwhile, cut half of the strawberries in half and set aside.
• Then quarter the other strawberries and mix them with the melted jam.
• In large bowl, add the whipping cream and whisk until firm.
• Mix the yogurt and honey and fold them through the cream.
• In 3 1/2-quart glass trifle bowl, cut 3 of your pancakes in half and layer them againstthe bottom of the bowl, round side up. Then arrange some more pancakes at the bottom (cut them in half again if that makes it easier to layer.) Repeat the layer of half pancakes.
• Put 1/3 of the cream mixture into a piping bag and pipe it all on top of the pancakes.
• Sprinkle over half of the granola. Then layer the strawberry halves against the glass on top of the cream, alternating the direction of the strawberries' tip.
• Now layer the half pancakes as you did before and pipe the other 1/3 of the cream on top.
• Sprinkle over the rest of the granola. Now spoon the quartered strawberries and jam over the cream. Pipe the rest of the cream on top and decorate with some more freshly quartered strawberries and some mint leaves.

Steps:

• For the pound cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar, and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. After the last egg, continue to beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Beat in the heavy cream and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat on low until just incorporated.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool the pound cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely. (The pound cake can be made up to 2 days ahead; store at room temperature, well wrapped.)
• For the strawberries: Heat the strawberry preserves in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until just warm. Add the strawberries and 1/4 cup water, and bring to a simmer; simmer until the strawberries are just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Add a little sugar to taste if desired. Cool completely. (The strawberries can be made up to 1 day ahead; refrigerate in an airtight container.)
• For the cream layer: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer until very smooth and light. Add a little bit of the cream, and beat to loosen. Beat in the remaining cream, a little at a time, until the mixture just holds stiff peaks, stopping occasionally to scrape the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla.
• To assemble the trifle: Cut the pound cake into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Spoon a little more than a quarter of the cream into the bottom of a trifle bowl. Top with a third of the pound cake, followed by a third of the strawberries and their juices. Repeat the layers, starting with cream, then cake, then strawberries. Top with the remaining cream and a few strawberries. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

Steps:

• For the custard, heat the double cream and vanilla in a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Whisk together the eggs, cornflour, cordial and sugar in a bowl, then pour in the hot vanilla cream. Pour into a clean pan and set over a low-medium heat for 5-6 mins until thick and glossy. Pass through a fine sieve into a bowl and leave to cool.
• Put the wine and gelatine in a separate pan, heat gently to dissolve, then pass through another fine sieve into a jug and leave to cool slightly.
• Put the lemon drizzle cake in a trifle or serving dish, pour over the jelly and place in the fridge for 1 hr to set. Once set, pour the custard onto the trifle base and leave to set in the fridge overnight.
• The next day, put the strawberries, caster sugar and vinegar in a mixing bowl, toss together and leave in the fridge for 1 hr or so. Spoon the strawberries on top of the custard, along with the balsamic juices.
• Whisk the double cream, vanilla and icing sugar together, then spoon on top of the trifle. To serve, crumble over the biscuits and scatter with thyme.
