Quick Biscuit Trifle

August 2, 2022August 1, 2022by Karen ClaassenLeave a Comment

1 x container ready-made vanilla custard
1 x packet of your favourite biscuits
2 x packets of instant jelly, prepared according to the packet instructions

Place the biscuits in a plastic bag and smash it with a rolling pin. Do not make it too fine as little chunks of biscuit add a good texture.
Cut the prepared jelly into small cubes.
Assemble the trifle by layering the biscuit crumb, custard and jelly.
End with a layer of custard, add some fresh fruit and serve with a smile.

Hi and welcome to my blog! My name is Karen and I love cooking simple, uncomplicated, flavourful food. My cooking is inspired by seasonal ingredients, punchy flavours, an awareness of sustainability and of course by the likes and dislikes of my family and friends that sit around my table as well as you, the virtual guests around my table!

I am a chef, recipe developer and food stylist and generate my own content. I am also completely addicted to recipe books, of which I have an extremely large collection but the essence of my food is about celebrating life and all the fabulousness that we can add by creating good food.

Thank you for reading my blog. Please keep on giving me feedback and may your kitchen, as mine, be filled with joy and the best tasting food!
