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!

Hilang

hadirnya tak pernah diduga tidak juga diundang terus mancarik dan merobek koyak tak pernah sekali pun  dirawat dibiar bernanah sampai bila? sinar terik  yang bisa mencairkan  malam yang hitam pekat  yang bisa menyesatkan harus tidak mampu  menyuluh jalan pulang mungkinkah  ini telah dijanjikan seperti nukilan yang tiada penghujung seperti irama yang tiada noktah haruskah pasrah?

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...

Antara Anyir & Jakarta

I’ve been making regular monthly trips to KLIA since my husband was posted to Jakarta last year. And yesterday….. again, I made my ‘latest trip’ there to send him off (after the recent trip that I had on 3/3/06 when I picked him up from KLIA to spend his 10 solid-days holiday with me and the kids here in KL). Time sure flew fast when you wished for the earth to stop and let you enjoy your 10 days just a little bit longer. Nevertheless, the ‘most awaited 10-days’ was over…..Nik is now back in Jakarta and I’m now back in my office, sitting in my chair, swiveling around every 10 minutes, gazing lazily at the workload dumped on my desk and trying very hard to find every energy stored in my body just to touch those piles of paper…. argh! But the 10-days period was spent joyfully. We took the weekend off last week for a quickie getaway at Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa…. and oh boy! the resort is spectacular and the view is breathtakingly-beautiful. Of course, the children were the happies...
