Love how this has the written instructions and ingredients for a particular stage, at the same time the video is running. Many thanks, I’m off to start mine!

Brilliant recipe! Thank you for the instructional video❤️❤️

Thank you, this looks so good!

Many thanks for this wonderful recipe! I was wondering where I’d find it and you’ve given it to us, again thank you!

Thanks! This was very well explained and it turned out great! :)

Wow, thanks so much for doing the work of beautifully laying out the recipe with step by step instructions - with excellent demonstrations! I just watched the BBC competition episode on KZread last night and it was absolutely wonderful. Jemma made an incredibly delicious and beautiful dessert that also incorporated the Queen's own story. The judges REALLY got enthusiastic over her dessert and it looked like she had a good chance to win. They were so convinced about it that they pretty much ignored it's not a dessert for beginners or most at home cooks - BUT it certainly is festive. You've inspired me to make this at home.

Thanks, Margeau! It's definitely a project bake - so many components!! If you want to cut down on prep time I think it's worth it to just buy the amaretti and the lemon curd as the homemade versions aren't that superior.

You're welcome! I'm glad it's useful :) Yes, I think you could easily make 1/2 the recipe and for that to still be plenty of trifle hahaha

Ya can make this as a family, assign each person to make one layer of the trifle, cause I don't think I can make the whole thing by myself 😂

lovely video! out of curiosity: how does one eat that? layer for layer? :)

haha good question! Usually you eat trifle by scooping all the way down through the layers for each serving (so you get a taste of everything!). It is quite messy!! You can also make individual mini trifles by layering a small amount of each component into glasses or jars.

Good video and quite clear. I wonder what this cost to make. It doesn’t look low cost. I think you may need a new knife or need to get it sharpened for cutting delicate sponge. Your use of the scissors on the Swiss roll was enlightening though. Well done.

Thanks, Pauline. The knife I used for slicing the sponge is a bread knife so unfortunately I don't think it can be sharpened!! I learnt the scissor trick from my mum :) when we make Swiss roll cakes, we like to eat the trimmed edges as the Baker's Snack haha

@@IzyHossack cook’s perks are the best bits. I added up roughly what I thought this might cost and it came to £25 or £37 depending on the extract and liquor if bought new and not already in the store cupboard. Asda Uk has priced the Platinum Jubilee Trifle at £27.85. I suppose feeding 20 makes it not bad per portion, but it might be fairer in individual glasses to get a spoon of everything.

@@paulinethomas1611 Yes it's quite expensive - besides the Amaretto, there's lots of cream & eggs which aren't cheap (I actually cut down on the amount of cream for the topping because, in my opinion, 600ml for the top is too much). I agree that individual servings are probably the way to go for something like this :)

I've attempted this today and I don't have half as much jelly as it looks in the finished version on the BBC website. Theirs comes well above the cake where as mine is just on level with the swiss roll..surely gemma has used a lot more jelly In hers to be that high?? and i followed everything correctly .. what do you think? I don't think I would make it again its too much faff.

I followed the quantities from the BBC recipe (which I *think* is Jemma's recipe) and the jelly only just covered the Swiss roll (although a lot of it got absorbed by the cake so the jelly was even less visible). I agree that the image on their website makes it look like the jelly sits way above the sponge which I don't think is correct. It could just be that the food stylist doubled the jelly component to make it *look* thicker for the shoot.

@@IzyHossack Thank you for answering..😊 Yeah mine just covered the Swiss roll and absorbed, it looks nothing like her jelly in the pictures... I've made it now and it's nice but tbh I don't think it was worth all the effort.

My custard has curdled twice…….seems lovely and thick and then just curdles at the end…..is it the lemon extract causing this?

@IzyHossack

2 жыл бұрын

That is strange as the cornflour in the custard should prevent curdling! So yes, most likely the lemon extract. I was using Sainsbury's own brand lemon extract and had no curdling issues, if that's helpful to you.

@@IzyHossack thank you so much for your reply. I discarded the 1st lot of curdled custard and then when the same thing happened to the 2nd lot, I googled around. Curdled custard can be saved! And I saved the 2nd lot by cooling it a little and then whisking by hand quickly and it came back to normal. Magic! I think i was probably over heating it....so lesson learned. Thanks for taking the time to respond though. 🙂

Unfortunately when I made this trifle I followed the written format of the method on the BBC food website, I wish I'd followed this video as stage 4 of making the mandarin coulis is missing, I didn't reheat it up to create the effect the arrowroot would have made. When I realised it was too late so I just strained and placed the oranges. I have been trying to find a way to report this to the BBC food website but can't find a way. It's a shame because there's a lot of effort put in by the cook to make this trifle.

@IzyHossack

Yes I realised the same! I found a few issues with the BBC recipe which is why I ended up rewriting it myself. I thought that first that in their recipe, the heated mandarins might be hot enough to activate the arrowroot without re-cooking but quickly found that not to be the case. I had to cook it for around a minute to get to thicken properly. I also found that the amount of arrowroot designated was too much so I’ve decreased it slightly for my version.

@@IzyHossack I agree, I had to remake the coulis as it had too much arrowroot. My amaretto dough was very sticky, I used large egg whites and wonder if I should swap to medium eggs, it was hard to make into balls. Your advice would be welcome. Thank you

@@juliabaxter7962 glad to hear it wasn't just me with the arrowroot issues! I used large egg whites when I was making the amaretti (as I had them leftover from the custard etc). However I think yes, you could definitely swap to medium egg whites (or just weigh out 65g of egg white as that should be equal to 2 medium egg whites) to make the dough less sticky :)
