Middle of the month trifle

This recipe is a true middle of the month dessert, (you know when you running on reserves) when the family nags for dessert and you scratch your head and wonder how am I going to manage this? Algamdulilaah I always try to keep a few packets of jelly and custard powder in the cupboards for a rainy day! Middle of the month trifle.........here goes!

Ingredients:
2 pkts jelly (your preferance)
Big tin sliced peaches
Custard powder
2 cups milk
5 tablespoons sugar
1large fresh cream
Vanilla Essence

Method:
Empty jelly in a large glass bowl, add 2 cups of hot water till dissolved then add 2 cups cold water (kids love doing this part), open tin peaches , drain juice and add it to jelly mixture and refrigerate, keep peaches in fridge too. When jelly is setting make the custard by heating the milk and mixing custard powder with sum milk to form a paste.

Just before milk starts to boil lower heat and add custard mixture to milk, mix through and add sugar. When custard thickens take off stove and let it cool off completely. Once jelly is set place peaches on top and the cold custard . Whip fresh cream with some vanilla essence and teaspoon of sugar. Place fresh cream on top of the custard mixture.

You may serve as is or sprinkle with a flake on top of trifle. We had it without the flake but everyone still kept coming back for seconds!

Personally I am a such a sweet tooth that I prefer chocolate brownies with fresh cream over trifle anytime, but my family loved this and it was bowel empty before bedtime.........algamdulilaah.
