What is a Trifle desert?
Trifle in English cuisine is a dessert made with fruit, an a layer of finger or brownies and custard. It can be topped with whipped cream.
How long does the Trifle take to set?
Once you cover the brownies with whipped cream, cover the dish with cling film and leave to set in the fridge for about two hours. It is best for trifle to settle for few hours before serving.
Can you store the Trifle?
Leftover trifle can be stored, loosely covered in the fridge, for up to 3 days, after which it will still be edible but the trifle will be very soggy and the cream will become looser, soaking up the whipped cream and syrup. Best to eat the trifle within 2-3 days.
Can you freeze the Trifle?
Freezing the trifle is not recommended, as the cream wouldn’t freeze well, and upon defrosting it will become watery.
