Categories     Dessert

Time 6h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 box Betty Crocker™ pound cake mix
Water and eggs called for on cake mix box
1/2 lb rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
2 cups sliced strawberries
2 boxes (4-serving size each) vanilla pudding and pie filling mix (not instant)
2 1/2 cups milk
2 cups Cool Whip frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1 cup medium-size whole strawberries, if desired
Shredded orange peel, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for one 9-inch loaf or two 8-inch loaves, using water and eggs. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix rhubarb, sugar and orange juice. Heat to boiling over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; cook about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is tender and mixture starts to thicken slightly. Cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled. Stir in sliced strawberries.
  • While rhubarb mixture is cooling, in 2-quart saucepan, mix pudding mix and milk. Cook over medium heat 6 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Cool 15 minutes. Press plastic wrap directly on pudding to prevent a tough layer from forming on top. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled. Fold in whipped topping.
  • Cut pound cake horizontally in half. Spread marmalade over bottom half. Top with top half. Cut into 18 slices. Place 9 slices in bottom of 2 1/2- to 3-quart trifle or serving bowl.
  • Spoon half of the rhubarb mixture over cake; top with half of the pudding. Repeat layers with remaining cake, rhubarb mixture and pudding. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled.
  • Arrange whole strawberries on top of trifle. Garnish with orange peel. Store covered in refrigerator.

STRAWBERRY-PRETZEL TRIFLES



Strawberry-Pretzel Trifles image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pints strawberries, halved (about 6 cups)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 stick unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
3 1/2 cups small pretzel twists
1 large egg white
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups cold heavy cream

Steps:

  • Prepare the strawberries: Combine 4 cups strawberries and the granulated sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook until bubbling, then increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries are soft and the liquid is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 cups strawberries and the lemon juice. Let cool, then transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, make the crumble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter a 9-inch-round cake pan. Combine 3 cups pretzels, the melted butter, egg white, granulated sugar, flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor; pulse until a wet dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Break the remaining 1/2 cup pretzels into pieces and press into the dough. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan, then break into bite-size pieces.
  • Make the cream: Just before serving, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat the heavy cream in another bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the rest.
  • Layer the cream, crumble and strawberry mixtures in individual glasses or bowls. Cover and chill, at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours.

EASY RHUBARB TRIFLE



Easy Rhubarb Trifle image

Boozy, soggy, creamy, sweet and tart, this simple cake is somewhat like a tiramisù, since it is layered with ladyfingers. (But let's not call it a tiramisù, because it's really not authentic or traditional.) It's more like a simplified trifle, as it has no custard sauce or whipped cream, but it's rich and delicious nonetheless. Mascarpone and crème fraîche are whisked together for the creamy filling, and Campari, orange liqueur and brandy punch up the cooked rhubarb's syrup. Look for store-bought ladyfingers, available in Italian shops and many supermarkets, or substitute good-quality poundcake or sponge cake. The trifle can be assembled up to a day in advance.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds rhubarb, tough peels removed, cut into 3/8-inch pieces
1 cup/200 grams plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Cointreau or triple sec
1 tablespoon Campari
1 tablespoon brandy or Cognac
1 cup/250 grams (8 ounces) mascarpone
1 cup/250 grams (8 ounces) crème fraîche
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
About 20 store-bought ladyfingers, or use poundcake or sponge cake
Fresh rose petals, organic or unsprayed, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. In an ovenproof dish, combine chopped rhubarb and 1 cup sugar, and bake, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, until rhubarb is softened and submerged in syrup. Drain rhubarb in a sieve or colander set over a saucepan to collect the syrup. Set rhubarb aside, and let cool.
  • Place saucepan over medium-high heat. Add Cointreau and Campari and simmer until syrup has reduced to about 1/2 cup. Stir in brandy.
  • Put mascarpone and crème fraîche in a bowl. Add orange zest and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Whisk mixture briefly to incorporate.
  • Assemble the trifle: Line the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch square glass or ceramic dish with ladyfingers. Break ladyfingers to fill completely. (If using poundcake or sponge cake, cut into 1/2-inch slices.) Spoon half the syrup evenly over the ladyfingers. Top with half of the cooked rhubarb, spreading it flat to the edges of pan. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over rhubarb.
  • Make another layer with half the ladyfingers and spoon remaining syrup over them. Spread remaining rhubarb on top, and top with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to a day. A half-hour before serving, remove from refrigerator. Garnish with rose petals, if desired.
  • Cut trifle into squares and serve on plates, or use a large spoon to scoop portions into bowls.

Two mighty desserts merge in this seasonal pud made from baked rhubarb, mascarpone laced with almond liqueur and a covering of oat and almond crumble

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

800g rhubarb , cut into 5cm pieces
100g caster sugar , plus 2 tbsp for the whipped cream
pared zest and juice ½ orange
a few splashes grenadine (optional) - this is to endure that the rhubarb has a lovely pink colour
75ml Disaronno
juice 2 oranges (about 150ml)
8 trifle sponges
140g mascarpone
500g pot vanilla custard
600ml pot double cream
25g butter , softened
50g plain flour
25g demerara sugar
25g whole almond , roughly chopped
50g jumbo oats

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Arrange the rhubarb pieces in a large roasting tin. Sprinkle over the sugar, orange zest and juice, grenadine and 150ml water. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 mins until tender but not mushy. Scoop the rhubarb out of the tin into a sieve and reserve any juices, then leave to cool completely. Tip the rest of the liquid into a saucepan, along with the collected juices, and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15-20 mins or until reduced and syrupy. Leave to cool completely.
  • To make the crumble topping, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine crumbs, then stir through the demerara sugar, almonds and oats. Tip onto a baking tray lined with parchment and bake for 15 mins, shaking the tray every so often, until golden brown, then cool.
  • Mix the Disaronno and orange juice together in a shallow dish. Dip each sponge into the liquid, leaving it for about 15 secs on each side, then arrange them in the base of a large trifle dish. Tip the mascarpone into a bowl and whisk until soft and smooth, then add the custard, a little at a time, and mix until combined. Arrange half the rhubarb pieces on top of the sponges, discarding the orange zest. Drizzle over 2 tbsp of the rhubarb syrup and top with half the custard mix. Follow with another layer of rhubarb, 1 tbsp of the syrup, and the remaining custard.
  • Whip the cream and 2 tbsp sugar to soft peaks and dollop over the custard. Drizzle over the remaining rhubarb syrup, along with a scattering of the crumble topping. Tip any extra crumble into a bowl and pass around the table.
