Trifle is an old fashioned favourite.  It’s a special occasion dish that requires a bit of preparation but it’s always worth it!

This recipe will appeal to all ages as it contains no alcohol.

When ready to assemble, drain the peaches and mango.

Slice the swiss roll and lay in the bottom of the bowl. Sprinkle over the sherry or orange juice.

Smooth the cream out and decorate the top with the hulled and halved strawberries.

Notes

  • This recipe takes a bit of preparation but it it’s worth it in the end.
  • You can make this the day before you need to serve it. I think it’s actually better 24 hours later.
  • You can exchange the sherry for orange juice for a child-friendly option.
  • This recipe was created by Jennifer Cheung for Kidspot, New Zealand’s best recipe finder.

    I like that you have been and red jelly in there. Sounds very festive! I may just have to try this one.
