Ingredients
- raspberry jam
- circular sponge cake (about 1 inch high)
- can of pears
- jello
- prepared custard
- whipped cream
- sliced almonds for decoration
Cooking Instructions
- Spread jam on one side of the sponge cake and place it at the bottom of a trifle dish - usually a round glass dish about the same size as the cake.
- Place the half pears on top of the cake (juice is not needed).
- Prepare a fruit jello and pour it on top, then chill until it is solid.
- In the meantime make about a liter of custard (in Britain people use custard powder, but you can do it from scratch with eggs also).
- Pour the warm custard on top of the jello and let it thicken and cool.
- Then put whipped cream on top - either cover the top or decorate with the whipped cream and the almonds.
- Chill and serve.
