  • Fresh fruit (kiwi, blueberries, strawberries, etc.) as needed
  • Whipped cream as needed

Recipe 🍳

  1. Mix eggs, sugar, flour, etc., being careful not to deflate the foam, to make a basic genoise (sponge cake) batter.
  2. Pour the prepared batter into a mold and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes to complete the cake sheet.
  3. In a pot, combine milk, egg yolks, sugar, etc., and stir over a double boiler (bain-marie) without burning, until thickened to make custard cream.
  4. Remove the custard cream from heat, add butter for shine and nuttiness, then chill in the refrigerator.
  5. Cut prepared fruits such as kiwi, blueberries, and strawberries into bite-sized pieces, then mix with fruit jam until evenly coated.
  6. Cut the finished cake sheet into rounds and place at the bottom of a transparent dessert cup or large bowl.
  7. Layer the chilled custard cream and jam-coated fruit alternately on top in an attractive manner.
  8. Top with soft whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves, then keep chilled until serving.
  1. Bake the genoise cake sheet in the oven, and make the custard cream using a double boiler, then cool.
  2. Cut fresh fruits into bite-sized pieces and mix with fruit jam.
  3. Layer cake sheet, custard cream, and fruit in a transparent glass, then top with whipped cream and mint.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When baking, prepare all ingredients and preheat the oven beforehand to prevent the batter's foam from deflating.
  • Using fruit jam instead of adding sugar directly to the fruit gives a concentrated fruit flavor and sweet-tartness, enriching the dessert's taste.
  • Chill the completed trifle in the refrigerator to allow the cream and fruit juices to soak into the cake sheet, making it more delicious.
