Delicious layers of sponge cake, Tiptree Strawberry Preserves, custard, and whipped cream, served in individual cups for a festive, personal treat!

Ingredients:

  • For the trifle:
    • 6-8 individual serving glasses or jars
    • 2 cups sponge cake cubes (store-bought or homemade)
    • 1/2 cup Irish whiskey (optional, for soaking)
    • 1/4 cup Tiptree Strawberry Preserve
    • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (optional, for added fruit)
    • 2 cups custard (store-bought or homemade)
    • 2 cups whipped cream, freshly whipped
    • Toasted nuts (optional, for garnish)
    • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cake Layer:

    • Cut the sponge cake into small cubes and divide them between the individual serving glasses or jars (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup per glass).
    • If using Irish whiskey, drizzle it evenly over the cake cubes in each glass, allowing them to soak. For a non-alcoholic option, you can substitute with fruit juice or water.

  2. Strawberry Layer:

    • Warm Tiptree Strawberry Preserve slightly for easy spreading.
    • Add a spoonful of jam on top of the soaked cake in each glass, spreading it evenly over the cake layer.

  3. Add the Fruit (optional):

    • Add some chopped fresh strawberries on top of the jam layer in each trifle glass for a burst of freshness.

  4. Custard Layer:

    • Spoon or pour custard over the cake and fruit layers, making sure to cover the ingredients completely in each serving.

  5. Whipped Cream Layer:

    • Top each trifle with a generous dollop of freshly whipped cream, spreading it evenly or piping it for a decorative effect.

  6. Garnish:

    • Optionally, sprinkle each trifle with toasted nuts and a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

  7. Chill & Serve:

    • Refrigerate the trifles for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results). This will allow the flavors to meld together.
    • Serve chilled and enjoy these individual-sized indulgent treats!

This individual Irish trifle recipe delivers all the classic flavors of a traditional trifle in a beautifully presented, single-serving treat. It’s a delightful way to make everyone feel special, whether you're celebrating St. Patrick’s Day or any festive occasion! 🍓🍰☘️
