Christmas Trifle

Directions (Trifle)

Using a 4qt. trifle dish, line the bottom with Kinnikinnick Vanilla Wafers and brush with liqueur (if desired).

Spread a layer of prepared custard over top of wafers, followed by a layer of raspberries and whipping cream.

Place a second layer of Kinnikinnick Vanilla Wafers on the cream layer and brush with liqueur (if desired).

Top with a layer of custard, strawberries and whipping cream. Finish the top with a mixture of blackberries, raspberries and strawberries.

Directions (Custard)

Place egg yolks in a bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan combine milk, sugar, salt and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to thicken and comes to a boil (12-15 minutes). Remove from heat.

Slowly whisk the hot milk mixture into egg yolks. Gradually pour hot mixture back into sauce pan, stirring constantly.

Cook over medium-low heat stirring continually until mixture thickens and begins to bubble (approx. 6-8 minutes).

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Allow to cool slightly and then place a layer plastic wrap directly on custard to avoid skin from forming.

You can use this recipe to make smaller individual bowls.
