Number Of Ingredients 5

1 store-bought pound cake

1 orange or 2 clementines
1 cup heavy cream
10 ounces blackberries (about 2 cups, or blueberries if blackberries can't be found)

  • Zest the orange or clementines into a bowl and set aside. Squeeze the juice from the orange or clementines, over the liqueur-soaked cake.
  • Whip the cream in a small bowl until thick but soft, and spoon it unfancily over the top of the saturated, not to say gloriously sodden, cake.
  • Arrange the blackberries over the top of the whipped cream, then scatter with the reserved zest before serving.

GINGER PASSIONFRUIT TRIFLE

I don't think I've ever written a book without a trifle in it, and I'm not about to start now. Besides, this is one of those puddings that looks spectacular, but requires the least amount of effort and scarcely any time at all to make. And by the way, when I say "make," I really mean assemble. The taste, though, is glorious and, for all its simplicity of construction, it feels like a big deal. It's rich, which means you can feed a large tableful of people with one fabulous mound.

Time 20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

About 18 ounces store-bought sponge or pound cake or same weight of baker's madeleines
About 4 ounces ginger wine (recommended: Stones Ginger Wine)
About 18 ounces heavy cream
4 teaspoons icing sugar
8 passion fruit

Steps:

  • Slice or break the sponge into pieces and arrange half of them in a shallow dish or stand, then pour half the ginger wine over them. Mound up the remaining half of the sponge cake and pour the remaining ginger wine on top.
  • Whip the cream with the icing sugar until it is firm but not stiff; you want soft peaks.
  • Scoop the insides of 2 passion fruit into the bowl of cream and fold in before mounding the cream floppily over the soused sponge.
  • Scoop out the remaining 6 passion fruit onto the white pile of cream so that it is doused and dribbling with the black seeds and fragrant golden pulp.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY TRIFLE

Categories     dessert

Time 12h45m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (approximately 12 ounces each) chocolate pound cakes
1/2 cup black cherry jam
1/2 cup cherry brandy
2 cups drained bottled sour cherries (recommended: Morello)
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, minimum 70 percent cocoa solids, chopped
1 1/3 cups plus 1 tablespoon milk
1 1/3 cups plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
8 egg yolks
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
3 cups heavy cream
1-ounce bittersweet chocolate
Special Equipment: Large wide trifle bowl

Steps:

  • Slice the chocolate pound cake and make jam sandwiches with the cherry jam, and layer the bottom of a large wide trifle bowl. Pour over the cherry brandy so that the cake soaks it up, and then top with the drained cherries. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to macerate while you make the custard.
  • Melt the chocolate on low to medium heat in the microwave, checking after 2 minutes, though it will probably need 4 minutes. Or you can place it in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once the chocolate is melted, ser aside while you get on with the custard.
  • In a saucepan warm the milk and cream. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and cocoa in a large bowl. Pour the warm milk and cream into the bowl whisking it into the yolks and sugar mixture. Stir in the melted chocolate, scraping the sides well with a rubber spatula to get all of it in, and pour the custard back into the rinsed saucepan. Cook over a medium heat until the custard thickens, stirring all the time. Make sure it doesn't boil, as it will split and curdle. Keep a sink full of cold water so that if you get scared you can plunge the bottom of the custard pan into the cold water and
  • whisk like mad, which will avert possible crisis.
  • The custard will get darker as it cooks and the flecks of chocolate will melt once the custard has thickened. And you do need this thick, so don't panic so much that you stop cooking while it is still runny. Admittedly, it continues to thicken as it cools and also when it's chilling in the refrigerator. Once it is ready, pour into a bowl to cool and cover the top of the custard with cling wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
  • When the custard is cold, pour and spread it over the chocolate cake layer in the trifle bowl, and leave in the refrigerator to set, covered in plastic wrap overnight.
  • When you are ready to decorate, softly whip the cream for the topping and spread it gently over the layer of custard. Grate the chocolate over the top.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: You can make the sponge cake, custard, and jelly ahead of time and assemble the trifle just before serving.
  • Choose Fresh Berries: Use a variety of fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor. Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are all great choices.
  • Don't Over-Soak the Sponge Cake: Quickly dip the sponge cake slices in the sherry mixture and arrange them in the trifle dish. Don't let them soak for too long or they will become soggy.
  • Chill Before Serving: After assembling the trifle, chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving so that the flavors can meld and the jelly can set.

Conclusion:

Nigella Lawson's Breakfast Trifle is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of sponge cake, custard, jelly, and fresh berries, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow the tips above to make sure your trifle turns out perfectly.
