Ingredients
  

For the jelly:

  • 90 g orange jelly mix
  • 500 ml water

For the custard:

  • 500 ml milk
  • 3 tbsp custard powder
  • 4 tbsp sugar

For the trifle:

  • 140 g vanilla cake
  • 2-4 tbsp orange marmalade
  • ½ cup chopped orange

Instructions
 

To Make the Jelly:

  • In a bowl, combine the contents of the jelly mix sachets.
  • In a saucepan, bring 500ml of water to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute.
  • Pour the boiled water into the bowl with the jelly mixture. Stir until the mixture is completely dissolved.
  • Transfer the jelly mixture to a flat bowl. Let it set at room temperature for approximately 45 minutes.

To Make the Custard:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together ¾ cup milk and custard powder until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, combine the remaining milk (approximately 1 ¼ cups) and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Gradually pour the custard mixture into the boiling milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
  • Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat and transfer the custard to a bowl. Let it cool to room temperature.

Assemble the Trifle:

  • Cut the jelly and vanilla cake into bite-sized cubes.
  • In a serving bowl, add a layer of cubed cake, jelly cubes and chopped orange.
  • Pour a layer of cooled custard over the top.
  • Drizzle orange marmalade over the custard.
  • Repeat the layers, cake cubes, jelly cubes, chopped orange and custard.
  • Garnish with a subtle swirl of marmalade, a slice of orange, and a few jelly cubes.
  • Repeat the assembly process for the remaining bowls.
  • Chill in the refrigerator before serving. Enjoy!
