Classic Australian Christmas recipes we're making this year | taste.com.au

sherry

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: fruit juice

Non-alcoholic wine provides a similar flavor without the alcohol.

sponge cake

🥗Healthier: angel food cake

💰Cheaper: pound cake

Angel food cake is lighter, while pound cake is often more affordable.

custard

🥗Healthier: vanilla pudding

💰Cheaper: cream cheese mixture

Vanilla pudding is lower in calories, and a cream cheese mixture is budget-friendly.

whipped cream

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: store-bought whipped topping

Coconut cream is dairy-free, while store-bought options save time.

Bake sponge cake until golden and set aside to cool.

Cut the cooled sponge cake into cubes.

Layer half of the sponge cake cubes in a large trifle dish.

Drizzle sherry over the sponge cake layer until soaked.

Prepare custard according to package instructions and let cool slightly.

Pour half of the custard over the sponge cake layer.

Add a layer of mixed berries on top of the custard.

Repeat the layering process with remaining sponge cake, sherry, custard, and berries.

Top with a generous layer of whipped cream.

Garnish with almond slices and chocolate shavings.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
