Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 400 grams sponge cake, cubed
- 4 tablespoons peach jam
- 500 milliliters vanilla custard
- 300 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams slivered almonds
- 4 fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and slice the peaches into thin wedges. Place them in a bowl with granulated sugar and set aside to macerate for 10 minutes, allowing the juices to develop.
Step 2
In a small dry skillet, lightly toast the slivered almonds over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 3
In a large trifle dish or glass bowl, layer one-third of the cubed sponge cake at the base.
Step 4
Spread 2 tablespoons of peach jam evenly over the cake layer, followed by one-third of the macerated peaches along with their juices.
Step 5
Pour one-third of the vanilla custard over the peaches, smoothing it gently to an even layer.
Step 6
Repeat these layers (sponge cake, jam, peaches, custard) two more times, ensuring the final layer is custard.
Step 7
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form.
Step 8
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the trifle, creating a decorative layer.
Step 9
Sprinkle the toasted almonds evenly across the whipped cream and add fresh mint leaves for garnish, if desired.
Step 10
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to mingle. Serve chilled and enjoy!
