About

The antithesis of a Women’s Institute trifle made from sponge, tinned peaches, jelly, solid custard and a spot of sherry, this one is for bad girls. You can do a quick version using bottled or tinned pears, ready-made custard and trifle sponges, or you could go the whole hog and make your own poached pears, home-made custard and sponge – I’ll leave that up to you.
