ITALIAN BERRY TRIFLE

Italiensk bärtrifle

Serves approx 4

5 slices cake, like a lemon or 

vanilla pound cake

3 tablespoons sherry or

concentrated fruit drink

4 cups berries

Vanilla sauce:

3 egg yolks

1.2 cups cream

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla sugar

Meringue:

3 egg whites

0.8 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla sugar

Preheat oven to 392F.

Crumble the cake slices and place in an oven-proof pan. Drizzle with sherry or fruit drink. Rinse and trim the berries and spread them over the cake.

Mix egg yolks, cream and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil while beating, but do not let it boil. Cool the sauce completely, stirring occasionally. Flavor with vanilla sugar and pour the sauce over the strawberries.

Beat the egg whites until stiff. Beat in half of the sugar and gently stir the rest in. Spread the batter over the vanilla sauce. Bake for 4 to 5 minutes to color the meringue. Serve the trifle warm or cold.

Enjoy!
