Fancy a British dessert? This is one of my first attempts to make one… I looked through BBC’s recipes and figured that the trifle with its different layers of good stuff, is supposed to be a typical British dessert. I couldn’t be bothered to read the ingredients list and follow any long how-to-list, so I just looked at the pictures and improvised.
I went to the store next door and bought berries, jelly, jam, sponge roll cake, meringue nests, strawberry syrup and yummy, creamy vanilla ice-cream.. First, I had to prepared the bottom layer with jelly, jam and berries.
We had dinner, and about an hour later, I just had to add the next few layers: slices of the roll cake, ice-cream and the topping with 3 meringue nests.
Don’t forget the strawberry syrup on top!
It’s a quick dessert, looks good and I’ve been told it tastes good too!
Fazit: Keep it simple and stupid. Always works.
