Ingredients

Pistachio Cream

1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) cream cheese
500 milliliters (2.1 cups) heavy cream (33%)
200 grams (0.4 pounds) powdered sugar
100 grams (0.2 pounds) pistachio paste

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cherry Filling

In a saucepan, combine the cherries and sugar. Heat on low, stirring gently until the sugar completely dissolves.

Mix the cornstarch with water and gradually add this mixture to the saucepan with the cherries, stirring continuously.

Heat the cherry filling until it begins to bubble, then remove from heat and let it cool completely.

Step 2

Make the Pistachio Cream

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and pistachio paste.

Using a mixer, beat the ingredients together until they reach a smooth, creamy consistency.

Step 3

Assemble the Trifle

In a serving dish or trifle bowl, layer the components starting with the crumbled cake, followed by a layer of pistachio cream, and then the cherry filling.

Continue to repeat the layers as desired until all ingredients are used.

Allow the trifle to sit for a while so the flavors meld together.

Faq

  • What can I do if my cream doesn't whip properly?

    Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are clean and free of grease. Ensure that your cream is cold; this helps it whip better.

  • Can I make the cherry filling in advance?

    Absolutely! You can prepare the cherry filling a day ahead and store it in the fridge until you're ready to assemble the trifle.

  • Can I use fresh cherries instead of frozen?

    Yes! Fresh cherries can be used, but you may need to adjust the sugar depending on their sweetness.

  • How can I make the trifle look more visually appealing?

    Layering the ingredients in a clear dish not only shows off the beautiful colors but also helps create a stunning presentation. Add garnishes like mint leaves or chocolate shavings on top before serving.

  • How long will the trifle last?

    The trifle can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. However, the biscuits may become soggy over time, so it's best enjoyed fresh!

  • What’s the best way to serve the trifle?

    Scoop the trifle into a portioned dish or bowl to showcase the layers, and don't forget a spoon for everyone!
