Yummy Treats Cheats


This is the recipe for my now renowned easy cheat "homemade" trifle.

Black Forest and Rum
2 packs of raspberry or cherry jelly
1 pack of frozen black forest fruits
1 cheap chocolate sponge
1 carton of quality pre-made custard
1 carton double cream
Dark rum to taste
Dark chocolate for decoration
Make the jelly with 1/2 more jelly cubes than stated.
Pour in a large bowl.
Add frozen fruit to taste.
Place in the fridge to set - the frozen fruit should help it set in under half the time.
Break up sponge and place on set jelly.
Drizzle rum to taste ( I use about 3 cap fulls)
Pour custard evenly over sponge and smooth gently with a knife.
Whisk cream until it stands in peaks.
Spread the cream evenly over the custard.
Grate the dark chocolate over the top.
It is seriously one of the most moorish things I have ever made. It can all be homemade if you have the time, but this is my cheats version.
