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 ...

Yes, I’ve been blessed with a lot of wonderful people around me….. yes friends, you! Read on…. Yesterday, around 6.15pm, I was in the middle of reviewing something when I was called for a meeting with one of big bosses here…. And I was thinking in anger, ‘Great! It’s 6.30pm and they want to have a meeting. Don’t they have families to run back home to????” So I got up from my chair and ran down to one of the meeting rooms in Level 5. I peeped through the small glass and the room was dark and empty. They were not even they yet! Heck! But when I pushed open the door, suddenly I heard people screaming and laughing and shouting, “Happy Birthday To You!!!!” and everyone was holding a candle in their hand. Gosh! My colleagues planned a Birthday Party for me. No wonder the department was empty when I left and I didn’t even notice. I was speechless! I was asked to blow the candles that they were holding and those on the cake (oh! The cake was so yummylicious!) I was so touched. Everybody was th...

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...
