Description

This show-stopping no-bake dessert layers raspberry jelly, lamingtons, custard, berries, and whipped cream in one tray — perfect for parties, BBQs, and festive gatherings.


Ingredients

2 × 85g packets raspberry jelly

500g frozen mixed berries

¼ cup sugar

2 × 200g packets mini lamingtons, chopped

1 × 360g chocolate cake, chopped

200g strawberries, hulled and halved

1kg store-bought custard

500ml heavy cream, whipped

30g Flake bar, crumbled


Instructions

Make the Jelly: Prepare both packets of raspberry jelly as per packet instructions. Pour into a 23×33 cm dish and refrigerate overnight to set.

Make the Berry Coulis: In a saucepan, simmer frozen berries and sugar over low heat for 20 minutes. Cool completely.

Prep the Layers: Chop lamingtons and chocolate cake into bite-sized pieces. Halve strawberries and whip cream to soft peaks.

Assemble the Trifle:

Line half the strawberry halves around the edge of the dish on the set jelly.

Layer the chopped lamingtons over the jelly and scatter remaining strawberries.

Drizzle berry coulis across the top, then spread custard evenly.

Add chopped chocolate cake, then top with whipped cream.

Garnish with crumbled Flake bar.

Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Swap strawberries with raspberries or blueberries.

Substitute lamingtons with sponge or pound cake.

Infuse custard with vanilla bean or liqueur for extra depth.

Top with toasted coconut or nuts for crunch.
