Time 3h45m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup dried apricots, quartered
2/3 cup dried figs, quartered
8 thin slices pound cake (about 1/8 inch)
2 tablespoons dark rum
2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • To make the pudding, combine the cornstarch, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and slowly stir in just enough milk to make a thick paste. Gradually stir in the remaining milk. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thick, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and butter. Pour into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold.
  • Place the apricots and figs in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for 20 minutes; drain.
  • Meanwhile, to make the caramel sauce, combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Use a pastry brush dipped in water to wash down any sugar crystals on the side of the pan. Cook over medium-low heat, without stirring, until the sugar is melted and turns a light amber color. Remove the caramel from the heat and carefully stir in the cream. Return to the heat and stir until the caramel is dissolved.
  • To assemble, place 4 slices of pound cake in the bottom of an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Brush the cake with 1 tablespoon of rum and drizzle with 1/3 of the sauce. Scatter half of the fruit over the cake. Spread with half of the pudding. Make another layer with the remaining cake, rum, 1/3 of the sauce and the remaining fruit and pudding.
  • Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top and refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours. Cut the trifle into 8 squares and serve.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were too many steps and it took me a long time to make. The end result was good, but I don't think it was worth the effort.

This trifle was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar in the caramel sauce next time.
