Serves 8
Every year my Gran would make the most delicious trifle for Christmas day, filled with fresh fruit and just the right amount of sherry... sometimes a little more heavy handed but always the yummiest! You can serve in one big glass bowl or smaller individual ones. This has become our Christmas tradition, hope you enjoy.

Ingredients
- 2 packets of finger biscuits (boudoir biscuits)
- 1 packet of jelly (flavour of your choice)
- 1 cup of medium sherry (or a bottle if you’re gran)
- 750g Fruit of your choice, peeled and sliced (berries are ideal, but peaches and banana work well too)
- Custard (home made works best!)
- Chopped nuts or berries
- 500ml double cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- Grated chocolate
Instructions
- Make the custard.
- Place the finger biscuits at the bottom of a large glass bowl.
- Spoon over the fruit, then add Sherry.
- Pour over a thick layer of custard, pushing it against the side of the dish to seal in the biscuits below. Leave to cool and set with a skin – this makes a barrier for the jelly.
- When the custard is cold and set, and the jelly is on the point of setting, spoon the jelly over the custard and chill until ready to complete.
- Whip the cream with the vanilla and icing sugar until just holding its shape, then spoon round the bowl over the set jelly.
- Decorate the top of the trifle with the nuts and/or grated chocolate.
- Refrigerate and serve cold
- Enjoy!
