One of my very favorites is Trifle, using a light sponge as a base and working in some healthy fruit and jello options makes this a very Healthy Christmas Dessert.

| Christmas Trifle |
- 1 (9 inch) sponge cake, cut in cubes
- 1 cup raspberry jam
- 8 ounces fresh raspberries, strawberries , kiwi
- Or whatever fruit is in season
- 1 red Jelly
- ½ pint of custard, or make your own is better
- 10 fluid ounces heavy cream
- 2 ounces sliced almonds
Directions
- Spread a little jam on the sponge cake and then cut the sponge cake up into 2 inch by 2 inch pieces, then throw into a large dessert bowl. Sprinkle raspberries over cake.
- Make one jelly, any color will do, but I like the red, pour over cake mixture in bowl, while the jelly mix is hot.
3. Make Custard with 2 tablespoons of custard powder, 1 egg, 2 tablespoon of sugar and milk until it thickens to the right texture; pour over sliced cake mix in bowl.
4. This is where I put a little brandy in,purley optional, just for that special Christmas occasion, and then I cover with glad wrap and leave in the fridge overnight.
- Then just before dessert is due on Christmas day, whip 10 fl oz. cream until soft peaks form. Place almonds, strawberries and Kiwi on top.
