Summer Fruit Trifle Recipe


Summer Fruit Trifle Recipe
This makes a great dessert to bring to a brunch, potluck or picnic. Once the ingredients are assembled it goes together quickly but it should be refrigerated for a few hours or overnight to really come together.

Ingredients
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 2/3 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
  • 1 cup evaporated fat-free milk
  • 1 tablespoon Triple Sec
  • 1 pound cake, sliced
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 1 pint raspberries
  • 1 pint blueberries
  • 3 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1 pint whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Directions
  1. Combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, and egg yolks in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth.
  2. Heat milks in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat to 180 degrees F or until tiny bubbles form around edge (do not boil). Gradually add hot milk mixture to sugar mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk.
  3. Return the milk mixture to saucepan. Cook mixture over medium heat 2 minutes or until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in Triple Sec.
  4. Spoon the custard into a small bowl. Place the bowl in a large ice-filled bowl for 15 minutes or until the custard is cool, stirring occasionally. Remove bowl from ice.
  5. Spread slices of pound cake with raspberry jam and form a single layer in the bottom of a trifle dish or other large bowl. (It's ok to leave gaps.) Spoon cooled custard over cake layer and top with one-third of the berries. Repeat layers twice more. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Before serving, combine cream and sugar and whip cream until stiff. Top trifle with whipped cream.
