 No-alcohol trifle, Is it worthwhile? |

I was just reading the MIL vent and although we have never been a trifle family I thought it might be nice to give it a try this Christmas. But my mother & sister are both allergic to alcohol so it would have to be without. Is there any point in making a trifle without sherry? Perhaps that's why we've never been a trifle family...
If anyone has any tried and true recipes I'd appreciate them. |

My mum makes the best trifle and has never added alcohol. I would say it's worth it!

I'll be watching this thread as I want to make a trifle that my DS and nieces can also enjoy (alcohol free).

Mum always put sherry or brandy in hers but I'm not a fan so when I make it I just pour a little peach juice from the can over the cake instead of alcohol. I've never had any complaints so it must be fine as I've made it that way for years.

I think you need some liquid to pour/sprinkle over the sponge, but no reason why it has to be alcohol. All this talk of trifle is making me want some!

My mums family have never put alcohol in their trifles, usually they just layer jelly, sponge cake, some canned fruits and custard. They don't have a specific recipe, just toss whatever 'trifle-ish' ingredients they have handy in the bowl. I've always loved the taste of their trifles.
My husbands family puts sherry in their trifles and quite frankly all you can taste is the alcohol, apparently it's not a 'real' trifle without the alcohol  Funnily enough, by the end of the event it's usually got less than a quarter eaten and generally that's only by the diehard trifle fans.

1 Jam Swiss Roll, broken up and placed in glass bowl.
Place bits of jelly (that has set) into the bowl. Pour custard (made from custard powder) over the cake and place in fridge, covered. Before serving, whip cream and place on top. Serve and enjoy. |
