Why you’ll love this Strawberry and White Chocolate Trifle recipe

  1. No Bake – This recipe is great because there’s no baking involved. If like me, you buy a Victoria Sponge Cake from the supermarket then you won’t need to bake anything for this recipe.
  2. Creative – You can get really creative with the recipe because you can experiment with the layers and garnish how you’d like. I decided to reserve some cream to pipe on the top which made it look so pretty!
  3. So fun – I had so much fun making this trifle. I got very creative with the layering process because I wanted to be able to see each of the layers of cake, cream and strawberries.
  4. Super Easy – As there’s no baking with this recipe, it’s really hard to mess it up. You essentially whip up some cream and layer it with slices of cake; it couldn’t get easier!
  5. Crowd pleaser – Despite this being one of the easiest recipes I’ve made, it’s the one which everyone asked me to make again, several times!
  6. Kid friendly recipe – If you want to introduce your kids to dessert making then this is a great recipe to start with. There’s no baking involved and they can unleash their creativity with the layering and decorating.

Top Tips

  1. Choose Fresh Ingredients:
    • Strawberries: Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture. Slice them evenly for a uniform appearance.
    • Cream: Use high-quality heavy cream for whipping to achieve a rich and fluffy consistency.
  2. Layering Components:
    • Cake or Biscuits: Use shop-bought cake, ladyfingers, or sponge cake for the base layer.
    • Cream Layer: Prepare a creamy layer using a combination of double cream, condensed milk and pudding mix.
  3. Prep Ahead:
    • Prep: To make it a smooth and easy process, prep everything ahead such as slicing the cake and strawberries, whipping the cream and getting your dishes ready.

More tips

  1. Assembly Tips:
    • Glass Trifle Bowl: Use a clear glass trifle bowl to showcase the beautiful layers. Start with a layer of cake at the bottom, followed by a layer of cream, and then strawberries. Repeat the layers until you reach the top.
    • Even Layers: Spread each layer evenly and press down gently to remove any air pockets, ensuring a consistent look and texture.
  2. Chill Before Serving:
    • Set in the Fridge: Allow the trifle to chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible. This helps the flavours meld together and the layers to firm up.
  3. Garnishing:
    • Top with Fresh Strawberries: Add a final layer of fresh strawberries on top for a vibrant and appealing presentation.
    • White Chocolate shavings: Sprinkle on white chocolate shavings for an added elegant touch.
  4. Serving Tips:
    • Portioning: Use a large spoon or a dessert spatula to serve, ensuring you scoop all the way down to get each layer in every serving.
    • Individual Servings: For a more personalised touch, consider making individual trifles in small glass jars or cups.
