Make a stunning trifle with layers of cake, fruit, and cream in a glass bowl for a visually impressive dessert.
Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 cups whole or 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup dry sherry or other dry white wine or white grape juice
  • 3 large egg yolks, beaten
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 2 packages (3 oz each) ladyfingers (24 ladyfingers)*
  • 1/2 cup strawberry preserves
  • 1 pint (2 cups) fresh strawberries, sliced, or 1 box (10 oz) frozen sliced strawberries, thawed, drained
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
Instructions:
  • In a 3-quart saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly whisk in the milk and sherry. Bring to a boil over medium heat while constantly stirring. Let it boil and continue stirring for 1 minute.
  • Slowly whisk at least half of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, then combine everything back in the saucepan. Boil and stir for 1 minute, then take off the heat. Mix in the butter and vanilla. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for about 3 hours until cold.
  • Split the ladyfingers in half horizontally and spread the cut sides with preserves. In a 2-quart serving bowl, layer one-fourth of the ladyfingers cut sides up, half of the strawberries, and half of the pudding. Repeat the layers, then arrange the remaining ladyfingers around the edge of the bowl in an upright position with cut sides toward the center. Gently ease the ladyfingers down into the pudding about 1 inch so they remain upright, if needed. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Begin by combining whipping cream and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a large chilled deep bowl. Use an electric mixer on low speed until the mixture starts to thicken. Increase the speed gradually to high and beat until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the dessert, sprinkle with almonds, cover, and refrigerate until serving. Keep the dessert covered in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
