🍰 Desserts

Layered trifle in a glass bowl — sponge, custard, cream, the buffet centrepiece. Cool and creamy, the kind of dessert that calms a big meal down. Lovely with a few berries or a thin biscuit on the side.

Prep 22 min Cook 7 min Serves 4 Easy

Ingredients

Heavy Cream1/4 cup
Salta pinch
Milk2 cups
Sugar1 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 cup, chopped
Golden Raisins2 tbsp

Instructions

1
Chill your bowls and whisk if you are working with cream — cold cream whips better.
2
Scald the milk with the vanilla extract — small bubbles at the edge, never a rolling boil.
3
Combine the heavy cream with the sugar; stream in the hot milk slowly so nothing curdles.
4
Stir over medium-low until it visibly thickens, eight to ten minutes — patience here is everything.
5
Pour into dishes, chill at least four hours, and serve cold with golden raisins on top.

Chef's tip

Salt is the missing ingredient in most home desserts — a small pinch makes chocolate and caramel taste more like themselves.
