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

Method
 

To Make the Jelly:
  1. In a bowl, combine the contents of the jelly mix sachets.
  2. In a saucepan, bring 500ml of water to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute.
  3. Pour the boiled water into the bowl with the jelly mixture. Stir until the mixture is completely dissolved.
  4. Transfer the jelly mixture to a flat bowl. Let it set at room temperature for approximately 45 minutes.
To Make the Custard:
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together ¾ cup milk and custard powder until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the remaining milk (approximately 1 ¼ cups) and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Gradually pour the custard mixture into the boiling milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
  4. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Remove from heat and transfer the custard to a bowl. Let it cool to room temperature.
Assemble the Trifle:
  1. Cut the jelly and vanilla cake into bite-sized cubes.
  2. In a serving bowl, add a layer of cubed cake, jelly cubes and chopped orange.
  3. Pour a layer of cooled custard over the top.
  4. Drizzle orange marmalade over the custard.
  5. Repeat the layers, cake cubes, jelly cubes, chopped orange and custard.
  6. Garnish with a subtle swirl of marmalade, a slice of orange, and a few jelly cubes.
  7. Repeat the assembly process for the remaining bowls.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator before serving. Enjoy!
