Mini Trifle

I made this quick and easy dessert over lunch today . I just wanted to use the shortcake that i bought from the store few days ago , since it’s been sitting there without anybody eating it . I’ve made the custard the other day , was going to use it for eclairs , but i think i’ve been making too much stuff lately for our little family . One can only eat so much , right ?

So , everybody can make this , i use the pretty glass for this , just pull apart the shortcake or even angel food cake from store would work just fine , pound cake will work too and then add the custard , the fruits , i used strawberries and kiwi , and then top it with more shortcake , and the custard and fruits , until you reach the top of your glass . Easy enough .. and yummy !!

You need :

shortcakes or angel food cake or even pound cake ( can be store bought or make it yourself , i’ll add pound cake recipe next time on the page )

kiwis , strawberries , blueberries , raspberries

vanilla custard :

500 ml. of 1 % milk

1/2 c. of sugar

2 tsp. vanilla extract

3 egg yolks

3 tbsp. cornstarch

rum

Heat the milk , sugar and vanilla extract .Beat the egg yolks with the cornstarch . Once the milk started to get warm , take about 2-3 tbsp. into the egg mixture , beat well again with your fork / spoon , and add slowly into the milk mixture while whisking non stop . Have to use whisk , or else it will turn out to be scrambled eggs 😀

Keep whisking until the mixture thicken up , and remove from the heat , pour into a bowl , cover with plastic wrap . Cool in the fridge , once it’s cool , add 1-2 capful of rum , mix well . Keep refridgerated until ready to use .
