Easy Christmas Trifle with Gingerbread Loaf

Here’s a delightful twist on a Kiwi classic, the Christmas Trifle. This quick and easy trifle can be assembled in under 20 minutes, making it ideal for last-minute gatherings.

We’ve added a spin on this recipe by swapping out the Trifle Sponge with our Coupland’s Gingerbread Loaf. This elevates the trifle with spiced flavours – it’s simple yet stunning that’s sure to be a hit at the Christmas table!

Ingredients:

• 2 packs of Coupland’s Gingerbread Loaf
• 1 cup of fruit juice (orange or apple works well)
• 1 kg of custard
• 500 g of fresh fruit (we used Strawberries and Blueberries)
• 300 ml whipped cream

Method:

1. Prepare the Gingerbread Loaf: Start by Coupland’s Gingerbread Loaf into 2cm thick slices. Lay the slices evenly on the bottom of the trifle bowl to create the first layer.
2. Drizzle 1/2 cup of your chosen fruit juice over the gingerbread layer. This helps to soften the gingerbread and adds a lovely burst of flavour.
3. Layer with fruit and custard: Add half of the fresh fruit on top of the gingerbread layer, followed by 1/2 kg of custard. Smooth it out evenly for a neat finish.
4. Repeat the layers: Repeat the gingerbread, fruit, and custard layers once more to fill the bowl.
5. Top with cream: Finally, top the trifle with a generous layer of whipped cream. Garnish with any remaining fruit.
6. Store in fridge prior to eating.

Chef’s Tip: You can substitute the Gingerbread Loaf for any other flavour loaf. Like our Lemon Delicous Loaf.
