How To Make Clotted Cream Recipes Right Here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-62f9xo9eLUQ.html&list=PLwyKnt6ukUXhoW5rKtBEL159lOh6Z2V7q&index=2
I'm from the States. My Mum was raised during the Great Depression on an Idaho potato farm. She knew nothing about foreign cuisine. But she read a story about a little English girl who loved Trifle at Christmas. Mum asked, and asked, every old lady she met if they knew what Trifle was. Finally long after the war she found a lady, a British war bride of an American flyer, and learned to make them. Our family has made them at Christmas time ever since. We use mixed berries and lightly sweetened whipped cream, and usually have to make our own little sponge cakes since they're rare here. I'm going to try it with your Cornish clotted cream this year.
Hi Blue, oh wow, that a lovely story! Amazing to hear. Your Trifle sounds delicious, thanks so much for the family history. if you make the clotted cream please make sure to buy cream that has nothing added to it and that is not UHT :)
My mother was English and once she moved to the States she used pound cake when she couldn't find lady fingers and often subbed canned fruit cocktail w/ cherries or just canned pears. Always used Birds custard. yum
I use jam as well but i heat it in a pan to a pouring consistency and add the sherry and pour the whole lot over the trifle sponge, i cannot describe the deliciousness
Hi hun...when I was a child my Mum used to make trifle with sponges..sliced banana with jelly poured over...leave to set in the fridge overnight then made her thick custard next day ...cooled it then poured on top of jelly...leave in fridge covered so custard set then the lovely whipped cream on top. She added hundreds and thousands and edible silver balls with the nuts on top and even choc buttons for us kid's...me, my sister and brother...loved it at Christmas as it was special then.... ..I like your version though it would make a nice change...may try it this year...thanks honey 👍😊👌
Yummy! I have just made my first trifle for Christmas day. It is summer here in New Zealand, so we have lots of fresh berries available. Trifle is so popular here at Christmas that we can buy trifle sponge from the bakery at the supermarket and custard ready made. Thank you for this post!
Not yet but I plan to...I make different variations tho. I use cake, pudding, fruit and whipped cream of all sorts. What time is the livestream on Sunday?
Thank you very much. I try my best to do it in every video for weights and temperatures in F too. You want fresh custard? Just 92 more people need to ask, get your friends on this too ;)
Hey Sunny! Thank you so much! Have you ever tried homemade British Trifle? Maybe you could try making it at home? Ok, so for the Custard we just need another 97... :D
My family all love trifle. ... but I hate it. I remember back in the 70's that I had a trifle that had jam in it and I absolutely loved it! I tried googling but only came up with trifles that had jelly.... yuk! Today out of the blue this comes up on RU-vid.... this is the recipe I was after thanks so much for posting will be keeping this link. .... thank you!
My Nan used a jelly before custard, eg after raspberries are added (let it set in fridge). She also used strawberries sliced on top, + the bit I liked best 100's & 1000's eg little multi coloured sprinkles. A see-through bowl does show off the layers best & floating raspberries always amused me as a kid. Didn't like the taste of the sherry so always left it. Later the sherry was abandoned for juice, I think it was only kept in for an older relative. Happy trffle making to you all.
We haven't got trifle sponges where I live in the US, so I use slices of pound cake. And I've found Bird's Custard powder on eBay since it's not sold in stores here--it's never really sweet enough for me, though, so I wonder if it's okay to put more sugar in it. As for soft fruit, I tend to use whatever is on hand, and sometimes that is blueberries or dewberries. Is nearly impossible to mess up making trifle, thank goodness, so I experiment a bit. So good! Thanks for another great recipe.
Hi ZZydny, I did a livestream last week where I have a few people who live in the USA on it, most of them seemed to tell me you can get it in America prices from I think $4.99 - $7.99, not cheap. The powder you can add from 1- 2 tablespoons of sugar too anyway? For me that would be way too sweet, but I know everyones taste is different and you deserve your custard to be as sweet as you want it to be.
I live in a small town where Bird's Custard would be considered an "exotic" food. LOL Folks here are more accustomed to foods like mustard greens and cornbread (which I love, actually). The only way I could buy Bird's is to go online. And, you're right: it wasn't cheap. I also buy Marmite on eBay, and that's not cheap either. Worth it, though!
@@zzydny Where I live cornbread and mustard greens are exotic but I can get trifle any day of the week! Custard takes a bit of attention at first but it is not at all hard and you can get the ingredients anywhere. I never liked Bird's custard anyway. Reminds me of school dinners!
Looks really good I love the true old traditional British ways of making it , I may try this recipe Xmas eve for Xmas day , please do a video of you making the birds custard , I always ruin it , don’t know what I do wrong lol it’s always to thick I think 🤔
Please make a video about custard! I absolutely LOVE custard - and my husband hates it; I'm sure he'll love it if I have yet another custard recipe for me to try out. (I just discovered your channel, by the way, and am on a binge! Good job!)
Hi :) Welcome! Great to have you here and thank you very much if you watched anything else. That's hilarious, brilliant! Ah well keep testing the custard on him lol! I always reply to comments and try to listen to what my viewers want or suggest so keep in touch. Just 86 more people to ask for custard so get sharing this video.
It really is an old time favourite from growing up, I do like it, and homemade custard. Did you know I've got a lot more traditional British Cooking videos uploaded, so come back and check them out.
When I say PUDDING, It's the American version of British custard, not a cake...and here ur biscuits are called cookies. Those biscuits ur using are an equivalent to a thinner version here called Lady Fingers. They r hard and need a liquid as ur using brandy for. Mostly I use them when I make TIRAMISU, that yummy Italian desert... and soak them with strong coffee, or espresso....And to add to the confusion, our biscuits are almost equivalent to ur scones. haha
I understand :) Yes actually a cookie and biscuit are different, one is a very dry bake, like a digestive biscuit, or a rich tea biscuit with nothing in it generally, the other- what you call a cookie is a soft bake, often baked just once with fruit in or other things addded. Lady Fingers is what you need for trifle.
I've used ladyfingers for many recipes. What he used above, to me anyway... seemed a lot softer, more like maybe... more of a pound or sponge cake? Idk why but as I was watching, was also thinking how good it would prob be with (rather than sherry) some good quality Amaretto! The perfect flavor imho, to go with this... just with, well... an added kick! ;) lol ENJOY! Hope everyone is staying safe & well these days! Take care.
I’m just wondering, if I could use Lady Fingers Instead of those finger cookies. I don’t know if I can find those in America. Also, I would love a custard video!!!
most trifles I have seen... .(have never made one) have had cubed pound cake (or any heavy cake) with fruit scattered, then custard and whipped cream through out ..some times mixed and then poured on... but I haven't tasted one in a long time.. This is one of the ways to use up day old (or flopped) cake.. or even cupcakes... haha... old cake.. like that ever happens :)
Do you have a recipe for butter tarts without cream? I have one from my grandmother that is over 120 years old, (she was from Britain too). Would love to find other yummy recipes.
I love trifle, make an apricot/almond/coffee one. Never made one with jam though. Definitely will try. Do you have any recipes for sticky toffee pudding?
Mmmmmmmm.... I bet I could eat that whole thing!! I don't think we have that Bird's custard but I've made it before - not too hard. What type of sherry did you use? Sweet? Also, American heavy cream isn't good if you don't add some sugar - no really, it's not. Ours is ultra pasteurized - prob what ruins it. You said your version didn't have jelly - where would that go, and what kind? Doesn't the strawberry jam count? I think the trifle I had in England had raspberry jam on the sponge. I would try strawberry - already enough raspberries in there. Thanks for doing this vid - going to make it as close as I can to your recipe. Looks really good!! Haven't had trifle since I was over there 20 years ago - SO good I can still taste it!!
Hi Vi! So sorry for the late reply, I didn't get notifications for a lot of comments left last night. I used a basic medium one. I'm not sure about your cream, I've never tried it or I don't remember trying it. The strawberry jam in the trifle is I guess the Jelly, jelly is more for kids. I really hope you gave this a go :)
BritishCook I watched some other videos showing me what the jelly is that you mention - it’s what we call jello - better your way I think - skip the jelly/jello.
Yep, I dont like over processed foods with all the added junk you get in it. Good time saver though. The jelly version was made for kids, that's fine though everyone likes things a bit different.
Hi Lynne, thanks so much, glad you like the look of the British Trifle Recipe :D Yes they are really good for doing that, although a little calorific. These are just from a shop called Tesco, but in the UK you can buy them in pretty much any shop. Not sure about in the USA, sorry.
We have something similar here called Lady Fingers. They're soft and spongey but they're thinner (like a finger, lol). But they don't have that sugary encrustment (I made that up) on the top. Are they Tesco's brand or is there a name brand? We get a fair amount of things here from the UK. We have the Bird's custard. In fact, we have one in the pantry right now. I'll do a google search.
Laurie as an expat I’ve learned to substitute US for U.K. products as specialty shops are too expensive. Jello cook and serve pudding is honestly just as good for custard and lady fingers, old sponge cake or jelly roll is good for a base. Lovely trifle chef. mine is a variation on this but they’re all delish!!
Yes, many trifles, from traditional to tropical-inspired (pineapple, coconut, assorted citrus, and macadamia nuts)...and its cousin, Tiramisu. When I'm really ambitious I make my own ladyfingers. So I'm looking forward to a new recipe for custard!
Doesn't the original recipe actually have jam and sponge cake instead of jelly and finger cake or am I confused ? ~A non-british trying to learn foreign recipes.
BritishCook no and that i am aware of the ingredients that you used such as powdered custard aren't available here in the US. I tripped on to a recipe that required golden syrup the other day and that isn't available here either. Could you please do a show covering where such items could be bought if you live outside of Britain?
I keep being told by people in America you can get it, its just expensive :/ That's why I used it lol. Only 90 left to ask for custard, share this video with your family and friends :D Got to love a bit of British Cooking :D But I will look into finding links for things as a good idea :)
BritishCook I don't mind to oay for good quality products. I will see if what I find are good. I might ask about the quality of brands. Thank as always for the great videos.
Hi Claudia! Brilliant, just 88 more people to ask for custard, so share this video :D Yes from what i gather they are what you call lady fingers, but they have sugar on top in the UK. I'm doing a livestream at 3PM UK tomorrow, (7am PST, 10am EST) be great to see you there if your able to make it.
Shhhhh ;) Maybe. Lizzie I think I've lost one of your comments about making sweet things? Saw it, but it's gone. I'm sure you could make this British Trifle dessert
