Strawberry and Banana Trifle
Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Having the intention of preparing a simple yet affordable dessert (with less than $15) for your other half to show your sincerity for this special occasion?
Household Tips and Tricks is here for your saviour!! As we believe that trifles have got to be the easiest desserts to put together, and the cheapest. It also looks very impressive, until you serve it at least.
Ingredients needed:
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced (Korea Strawberries; $3.80 from NTUC FairPrice)
- 3 medium firm bananas, sliced (Aloha banana Philippines; 1KG $1.90 from Cold Storage)
- 3 cups cubed pound cake (First Choice pound cake (original); $4.50 from Cold Storage)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped (EMBORG Whipping Cream (Tetra Pack) $3.40 from FairPrice)
Quick look (Directions):
- Slice and cut all ingredients (strawberries, bananas, pound cake) into small pieces.
- Place 1/4 of the cake cubes in a trifle bowl or serving bowl. Layer it with bananas, strawberries, and whipped cream.
- Repeat layers till full.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Garnish with additional fruit if desired.
Let’s get started!!
Let’s start by cutting the strawberries, bananas and pound cakes into slices!
*Do make sure that the pound cake is all cut equally of the same size! A small lil cube will look just right and fine!”
Starting the layers
First, to place the cubed pound cake in a simple trifle bowl/ or a serving bowl.
Next, it is to add a layer of bananas, followed by a layer of whipped cream, and lastly strawberries. Simple as it is? You’ll just have to repeat the steps till it’s full!
REALLY THAT SIMPLE!!
REALLY THAT SIMPLE!!
Making the layers was the most fun! The team liked arranging the fruit to make it look nice and pretty on the outside, but really on the inside it was just a glob of fruits and cake. Even though it may not look pretty on the inside, the flavors blend together nicely and it is a light dessert after a heavy meal.
And… it’s ready for consumption! Nom nom nom!!
Once it's served, it doesn't matter what it looks like!
This is one of those desserts that are nearly impossible to mess up. With it you can impress friends, family, or neighbours with just 20-30 minutes to put it together.
*Note: If you’re a chocolaty person, why not change a few things about this recipe. Instead of using pound cake like we do, why not prepare it with chocolate chip cookies? And probably, to add some chocolate sauce (from Hershey), after the layer of whipped cream?? Sounds yummy?? Why not try it on your own now?! ;)
