Sample Recipe from The Lazy Cook's Favorite Foods

Banana and Ginger Trifle

700ml (25fl.ozs) full cream milk
2 rounded dessts. custard powder
½ dessts. sugar
few spots vanilla extract
1 pkt trifle sponges - split each into 2
3 large bananas
2-3 pieces stem ginger
284ml (10fl.oz) double cream
ready grated chocolate

Mix the custard powder to a smooth paste with a little of the milk, heat the remainder in a pan with the vanilla extract and sugar. Add the paste and stir until boiling. Remove from heat and allow to cool a little. Make the trifle by layering the sponges, banana slices, ginger pieces and custard into a dish, ending with custard. Leave to become cold before spreading with whipped cream and scattering with grated chocolate.

Buy the bookLazy Cook tips - the made custard should be of a runny consistency so that it soaks into the sponges. If serving this to children you might choose to omit the ginger. A delicious trifle and so easy to make. Store when cold, covered, in a refrigerator or cold larder and bring back to room temperature before serving.
