Cher's Special Trifle

Ingredients:

Trifle Base

1 Packet of Trifle Sponges, or use any left over sponge cakes

1 pound frozen summer fruits (currants, raspberries, etc.--you don't have to

defrost them)

2 Bananas

2 ounces Sherry (you can use orange juice if preferred)

Custard Sauce

10 ounces Double Cream

3 Egg Yolks

2 ounces Castor Sugar

1 teaspoon cornflour

Decorative Top

10 ounces Double cream

2 ounces flaked Almonds lighted toasted

Directions:

Slice up or break the sponge up into pieces and spread a little raspberry jam on

them and lay them on the bottom of your chosen dish.. Next put in the mixed

summer fruits and spread them evenly over the sponges. Now pour over the Sherry

or the Orange Juice. Now give everything a really good stir to mix them all up!

The Custard: In a small saucepan, heat up the cream until it is hot, blend the Egg

yolks with the sugar, and cornflour.. When the cream is hot, pour it into the egg

mixture stirring all the time, and then return it to the saucepan, and keep on

stirring it, over a low heat, until the custard is thick. Now remove it and allow it to

cool slightly. Whilst this is cooling, slice the bananas and stir them into the other

fruit and sponge mixture. Now pour in the custard, and stir it into the fruit mixture,

it will go a pinkish colour because of the fruits. The extra sugar in the custard will

sweeten the fruit a little. Now put this aside for one hour in the refrigerator to chill.
