Ice Cream Trifles Recipes

Steps:

• Make the cherries jubilee: In a medium saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar and grenadine over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the rum and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from the heat and let cool in the pan. Can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 5 days.
• To assemble each of 6 trifles: Place the ice cream in a pastry bag (no tip needed). Place 1 cake round in a clear 8-ounce plastic food-safe jar (2 1/2 inches in diameter and at least 3 inches tall). Pipe about 1/4 cup of the ice cream. Top with a tablespoon of cherries jubilee. Repeat the layering with the cake, ice cream and cherries jubilee. Cover with the final layer of cake and top with some of the chocolate sauce. Cover and freeze for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place the cake and Klondike bar cubes in a large baking dish and freeze until ready to assemble. Gently crush the chocolate-covered pretzels into smaller pieces. (Don't over-crush, otherwise your pretzels will become dust!) Reserve 2 ounces to decorate the top of the trifle. Place 1/3 of the chocolate cake squares into a large trifle dish. Then, place 1/3 of the Klondike bar cubes on top, followed by 1/3 of the crushed chocolate-covered pretzels. Drizzle 1/4 of the caramel sauce over the pretzels and top with a 1/3 of the whipped cream. Repeat this order two more times, finishing with the whipped topping. Add the rest of the caramel sauce and top with the reserved crushed chocolate-covered pretzels. Freeze immediately. Before serving, let the trifle sit at room temperature for 3-4 minutes (so the cake can thaw slightly.)

Steps:

• Cut cake into 1/2inch slices crosswise.
• In a small shallow glass bowl of footed compote line the bottom and sides with the slices.
• Sprinkle the cake with the sherry.
• Fill the cake lined bowl with scoops of ice cream.
• Top with the berries, cool whip and almonds.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together espresso, hot water, and sugar. Stir to combine; set aside.
• In the bottom of a 3 1/2-quart trifle dish, place an even layer of cake cubes, cutting pieces to fit as necessary. Using a pastry brush, brush the cake cubes with 1/3 of the reserved espresso mixture to moisten. Using an offset spatula, spread 3 cups of vanilla ice cream on top of the cake layer. Repeat process and top with a layer of cake cubes brushed with remaining espresso mixture.
• Cover trifle with plastic wrap and transfer to freezer; freeze until ice cream is set, about 1 hour and up to 1 week.
• When ready to serve, remove trifle from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Beat heavy cream to soft peaks in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add confectioner's sugar and vanilla, beat until well combined. Top trifle with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings; serve immediately with hot fudge sauce.

Steps:

• Grease then line the base and sides of a deep, 20cm round loose-bottomed cake tin with baking parchment. Cover the base of the tin with slices of cake. Fill any gaps with small pieces, trimmed to size. Spoon over 2 tbsp of the alcohol.
• Put 300g of the fruit and the yogurt in a processor. Add the sugar, then pulse until smooth, thick and creamy. Spoon half of the frozen yogurt onto the cake mixture, then scatter with half of the remaining fruit and poke it in. Freeze for about 1½ hrs until firm. Put the rest of the yogurt mixture into the freezer too.
• Let 1 tub of ice cream soften a little, then spoon it on top of the berry layer and flatten with the back of the spoon. Freeze again until firm, then repeat the layers, poking the meringue shells into the top of the ice cream and scattering with the nuts to finish. Freeze for at least 6 hrs, or ideally overnight. Can be frozen for up to 2 weeks.
• To serve, take the cake out the freezer and chill in the fridge for 30 mins. Defrost times will vary depending on how cold your freezer is. Remove the parchment and slide it onto a cake stand or plate. Leave for another 30 mins to soften in the fridge. Dip a knife in boiling water, dry and slice the cake. Do this before each slice for a good clean cut.

Steps:

• In a trifle bowl, layer brownies, vanilla ice cream, and bananas.
• Repeat step with chocolate ice cream.
• Top with your favorite sundae toppings: we used whipped topping, fudge, nuts, sprinkles, maraschino cherries, and extra bananas.
• Serve immediately
