Trifle

I made trifle last weekend and invited Nik's sisters over to enjoy lunch at our house.  I had nasi dagang to go with it... hahaah what an odd combination, ey?  Check out my previous post for nasi dagang recipe.


I enjoyed cooking so much and if only I have the time....... I would've invited guests to my house every weekend.. LOL!

Btw, trifle is so easy to 'assemble' but very 'time consuming' to prepare.  It's all about layering the ingredients, so you may need to prepare the 'layers' in advance to save time... plus you need another 3 hours or so to chill it in the fridge.

OK, here's the recipe for my Trifle.  You will need these, as a start

Step 1

Cake rolls or butter cake or pound cake
I normally buy this to expedite the process.. hahaha but you can always bake yours and cut to your desired shape to fit the trifle bowl 
Mine looked like this...


Step 2
After arranging the cake in the bowl, pour strawberry sauce on top of the cake roll.  The more sauce the better so that the cake is soft by the time it is served.

Strawberry Sauce
Blend 10 strawberries and add 1-2 tbsp castor sugar.  Stir until sugar dissolve.  (I omit this because I am not a fan of sugar... hahahha.  No, no... I like my desserts to be less sweet)

Excuse the upside-down picture...

Step 3
After the sauce, the next layer will be the pudding layer.  Pour the pudding on top of the sauce (you can add more if you like the pudding to be thicker).

Pudding
Warm 300gm of cream (over a very low heat).  Remove and let it cool.  Meanwhile, beat 3-4 egg yolks with 4-5 tbsp castor sugar until pale.  Pour the egg mixture into the cream bowl and beat.  Put the mixture on low heat and continue to stir until the mixture thickens.  Cool it down before pouring in on top of the strawberry sauce.

Continue with the layering (Step 1-3) if you want your trifle to be thicker or if you have a tall bowl.  I repeated the steps twice.

Finally,

Step 4
Spread your whip cream on top of the pudding.  This will be the last layer.  You can whip your cream using the normal Whipping Cream (40% or more) or you can buy the ready-made whip cream... I whipped mine.  Then, sprinkle nuts and berries on top (I used pecan and strawberries).


Chill for 3 hours or more before serving.  Overnight is even better so that the cake is soft and all the flavour blend together....

Enjoy!

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...

A Walk to Remember!?

Finally, I’m writing…. The trip to Singapore was fun…. And also, full of crazy moments.. heheh… Clockwise : The Q @ immigration, street performers @ Orchard, moi infront of Far East Plaza, Nik chilling out @ Starbucks Suntec CT & my precious new sandal... I like!! We left KL after Subuh & managed to reach Johor around 10am. The trip was a short one so we decided to leave the kids behind. It was a smooth ride on a cool & very breezy morning with just enough sun all the way (yes, made me sleepy also!). I took some cool pictures along the way and later discovered that I accidently deleted all of the scenery pics from my camera.... *sigh* Sometimes I can be more than the word 'clumsy' could describe... Anyway, we wanted to enter Singapore via TUAS, then I remembered that we didn’t even have a single cent of S$, so we drove down to JB town and looked for money changer. Then I thought…. no harm of taking the Causeway since it was a Sunday and I was so damn sure that traf...

Angels - Mission Possible...!?

Last week was a week full of excitement for me. One, because I was busy with my work, so the week went by faster than usual…. (meaning: less time spent on ‘termenung’ & missing my husband); Two, my hubby dearest was scheduled to arrive on Friday night (3rd March 2006), the more reason for me be thrilled and eager counting the days; Three, me and the rest of March Angels ( Leilanie & T. Ina ) planned to meet up on Friday (3rd March 2006, also) to celebrate our birthdays and Leilanie had this fantastic idea of challenging ourselves to find gifts for the birthday mommies (and the gifts must cost less than 10 bucks each!) – and Leilanie, I must tell you that this challenge really made me sweat all afternoon on Thursday….. hehehe …and Four, me & my husband (and also the children) planned for a weekend getaway to Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa on 4th & 5th March 2006. There I said it…..nothing much to say about point One & Two…. but point Three and Four…..definitely!!!...
