- Trifle Pudding Recipe Ingredients Instructions Notes
If you have been with ‘cooking and me’ for a while, you’d know I love a good no-bake dessert. When I made this pressure cooker chocolate cake, I had some cake leftover after two days and figured I should add more calories on it and serve it as a dessert to, well, myself. It was delicious you guys.
The only thing I am slightly embarrassed about is that I used a can of mixed fruits because I didn’t have any fresh fruits in hand except for a banana, which I sliced and layered on top. Don’t be like me, make this trifle after you’ve had the time to get some apples, oranges, banana and such. You can add whatever you’d like, the possibilities are endless.
Some delicious no-bake desserts I recommend: Steamed chocolate cake , Classic tiramisu , Eggless mango cheesecake

Notes
Step by Step Pictures to Make Trifle: Mix together the milk, custard powder, vanilla, and sugar in a bowl. Here’s a tip: to prevent your custard powder from clumping up in the milk, add 3 tablespoon milk to the custard powder first and once it’s mixed to a paste, add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil Pin Pin Once the custard boils, bring to a simmer and stir mixing continuously until the custard thickens. Take care while stirring, the thickening part will happen quite suddenly after about 3-5 minutes of stirring. Set the custard aside to cool Pin Pin Whip the cream until soft peaks form. No need to overdo it, just a scoop-able or spread-able consistency is fine Pin Pin In a wide bowl, layer half the cake cubes and add some fruits over it. I have used canned mixed fruits to make this trifle Pin Pin Now spread some custard over this and top up with some cream Pin Pin Layer the next batch of cake over the cream layer and add the remaining custard and fruits on top Pin Pin Finish off with cream layer and add some sliced bananas. Using bananas here is optional, you can add any fruit of your choice over the trifle Pin Pin Dust some cocoa powder or drinking chocolate powder on top.
