Christmas trifle recipe
- Cuisine: Modern Australian
- serves 6-8
We love trifle, particularly in summer when fresh fruit is so magnificent. We usually have panettone left over after Christmas and so we use it in this dish instead of sponge. Combined with the sparkling wine jelly and real custard, this is a spectacular dish.
Featured as part of our Cooks and their Books series, this recipe comes courtesy of Allan Campion and Michele Curtis: chefs, parents and award-winning authors.

Ingredients
3 × 5 g gelatine leaves
250 ml (1 cup) apple juice
110 g (½ cup) caster sugar
500 ml (2 cups) sparkling wine
4 peaches, sliced
150 g (1 ¼ cup) raspberries
6–8 slices panettone
2 egg yolks
55 g (¼ cup) caster sugar, additional
1 tbsp plain flour
500 ml (2 cups) milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
300 ml (1 ¼ cup) whipping cream
2 tbsp pistachios, sliced, or 2 tbsp flaked almonds
Preparation
Soak the gelatine sheets in cold water for 2–3 minutes, or until soft. Remove from soaking dish and squeeze away excess water. Set aside.
Place the apple juice and caster sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat, add the gelatine leaves and sparkling wine and stir until dissolved. Strain into a large serving bowl and refrigerate for 4–6 hours, until almost set. Add the peach slices and raspberries at this point; if you add the fruit too early it will sink to the bottom. Arrange the panettone slices on top of the jelly.
Make the custard by beating the egg yolks and additional 55 g (¼ cup) caster sugar together until pale, then stir in the flour until smooth. Bring the milk and vanilla to the boil. Whisk the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture and return to a clean saucepan over a low heat. Stir constantly as the custard comes to the boil and thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Spread the custard over the panettone and chill until ready to serve.
To serve, whip the cream, spread it over the custard and sprinkle with nuts.

Hot Tips
A good cuppa
When making a pot of tea, always warm the teapot first, by adding hot water to the teapot. When the pot is warm, discard the water and add the tea leaves. The general rule is one teaspoon of tea for each guest and one for the pot.
