Trifle Pudding - Learn how to make an easy trifle pudding with chocolate cake and mixed fruits. Trifle is a type of pudding which usually involves custard, fruit, cake etc and is the perfect party dessert if you are wanting to make something to feed a large group of people. Except to make the custard, there's no cooking or baking involved in preparing a trifle.
Assemble a bunch of yummy ingredients, stick in the fridge for a few hours, and you have yourself a pretty impressive dessert. You can also serve trifle in individual pots or trifle glasses which make them look very pretty and party-ready.
If you have been with 'cooking and me' for a while, you'd know I love a good no-bake dessert. When I made this pressure cooker chocolate cake, I had some cake leftover after two days and figured I should add more calories on it and serve it as a dessert to, well, myself. It was delicious you guys.
The only thing I am slightly embarrassed about is that I used a can of mixed fruits because I didn't have any fresh fruits in hand except for a banana, which I sliced and layered on top. Don't be like me, make this trifle after you've had the time to get some apples, oranges, banana and such. You can add whatever you'd like, the possibilities are endless.
Some delicious 
Once the custard boils, bring to a simmer and stir mixing continuously until the custard thickens. Take care while stirring, the thickening part will happen quite suddenly after about 3-5 minutes of stirring. Set the custard aside to cool
Whip the cream until soft peaks form. No need to overdo it, just a scoop-able or spread-able consistency is fine
In a wide bowl, layer half the cake cubes and add some fruits over it. I have used canned mixed fruits to make this trifle
Now spread some custard over this and top up with some cream
Layer the next batch of cake over the cream layer and add the remaining custard and fruits on top
Finish off with cream layer and add some sliced bananas. Using bananas here is optional, you can add any fruit of your choice over the trifle
Dust some cocoa powder or drinking chocolate powder on top. This is an optional step too but adds more chocolate-y flavour to the trifle which can only be a good thing, right?
Refrigerate for 3-4 hours and serve chilled.

Amul has come up with a whipping cream which is very good. However, most shops don't seem to stock it. Nilgiris has it sometime.

Hi Lakshmi, you can try Amul cream you get in Bangalore, no need to whip up fluffy, just to a spreadable consistency. I think Amul will work.
