Authentic English Trifle
First, make a soft, rich custard: beat 4 egg yolks until light and
pale yellow. Heat 2 cups light cream with 1/4 cup sugar and 1
tablespoon orange flower water or vanilla. add beaten egg yolks,
while beating very hard. Then cook without boiling, stirring
continuously until custard coats the spoon. Remove to a bowl. Cover
and refrigerate until well chilled. Cut a two-layer sponge cake
(that you bake or buy) into finger-length pieces. Spread each one
on one side with raspberry jam and quickly dip in 1/2 cup sherry.
Place half these sponge fingers in the bottom of a deep cut-glass
bowl. Cover with half the custard. Whip 2 cups cream. sweeten with
1/2 cup icing sugar and vanilla to taste. Cover custard with half
the whipped cream. Make a second layer on top of all this. Top with
a dozen or so toasted almonds, standing them upright in the cream,
add a few slivers of angelica - or use small roses instead of
almonds and angelica. Refrigerate at least 12 hours.
