About this deal
Sweeten your double cream with a touch of icing sugar and whip it until the soft peak stage. Pile it high on top of the set custard so it peeks over of the top of your serving bowl or pipe it on for a fancier finish. Abundance is the name of the game! Sprinkles and toppings Hi, I live in Mexico and here you can't find the trifle sponges mentioned in some of Nigella's recipes. What could I use insted of them? Our answer
Pour over the sponge layer, making sure the whole thing is well soaked. There shouldn’t be any dry sponge, although you don’t want it totally soggy either so don’t feel you need to use it all if you find it’s too much. A Tipsy Laird is a Scottish Trifle that, at it’s most basic, uses whisky or whisky liqueur rather than the sherry that you’d find in a traditional English trifle. We also like to use Scottish raspberries and raspberry jam in ours too.Pour over the sponge layer, making sure the whole thing is well soaked. There shouldn't be any dry sponge, although you don't want it totally soggy either so don't feel you need to use it all if you find it's too much. Not every trifle includes jelly but it does lend it a classic wobbly texture. It’s also easier to pour custard over a level layer of set jelly and super-satisfying to see each distinctive strata of your trifle come to life through your transparent trifle bowl.
I have used a premade Jam Sponge roll here today as I love the look of it, but you can use any sponge and cover with strawberry jam before adding to the trifle bowl.Caster sugar works well when making “airy” recipes like sponge cake, mousse, meringue, or soufflé. It’s often used to sweeten fresh fruit since it dissolves faster than granulated sugar. Begin by prepping your ingredients. Chop your strawberries in half and then combine with raspberries and blueberries. Roughly chop your sponge cake into 1/2 inch slices. And chop your jelly (once set) into 1 inch squares. Vegan Double Cream You must use a whippable double cream that will form soft peaks - my go-to choice is this Elmlea Plant Double that whips really well, but if you're in a rush you can buy cans of squirty vegan cream in most supermarkets. Another great alternative is to put a tin of coconut milk in the fridge overnight, pour away the clear liquid and whip the solid white section with the icing sugar - really lovely. You might need two tins depending on the size of your trifle dish. To store any leftovers, place the Trifle into the fridge and cover with cling wrap. It’s best enjoyed within 2 – 3 days. We always like to try and find out a bit of history to the recipes we make, but try as we might we couldn’t find out where the name Tipsy Laird originated from or when it was first made.
