Ingredients
- 1 loaf (about 12 oz) Pound cake
- 4 cups (fresh, hulled and sliced) Strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Vanilla custard (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Strawberry jam
- 0.25 cup Almond slices (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the pound cake into 1/2-inch thick slices. Cut the slices into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Mix well and let the strawberries macerate for 10 minutes to release their juices.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip the cream.
Step 4
To assemble the trifle, start by spreading an even layer of pound cake cubes at the bottom of a trifle dish or a large glass bowl.
Step 5
Top the cake layer with a third of the macerated strawberries, a drizzle of strawberry jam, and a layer of vanilla custard.
Step 6
Spread a layer of whipped cream over the custard. Repeat the layers (cake, strawberries, jam, custard, whipped cream) two more times, finishing with a whipped cream layer on top.
Step 7
For garnish, place a few whole strawberries on top and sprinkle with almond slices, if desired.
Step 8
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy your Christina's Strawberry Trifle!
