Fruit & Cream Trifle

Iftar during Ramadan:

Yesterday was the hottest day of Ramadan of this season. After raining for many days, yesterday the sun was on full swing. Due to drastic change in weather, I felt little tired, but Allhumdulliah had a great day. Yesterday we were invited for Iftaar potluck at a friends place. Iftar parties are always my favourite.
 
After Asar prayer we women gather at the host’s place for Istema (meaning: meeting) where we talk about religious things and recite Quran or to listen Quran with translation. We all carry snacks from our home to share with all at the meeting. If there are more number of people we usually end up having Khajoor (Dates), Rooh Afza, Fruit Chat, Somasa or Bhajiya or Pakoda. But if it is just family members who are gathering then iftar party will be followed by iftar dinner at the host’s place.
 
When my friend called up to announce that she is hosting an Iftar potluck party at her place and wanted me to choose from snacks or dessert. I quickly said dessert. She said wow., you are quick on that. I said, I have something in my mind since long but finding no time to make it this Ramadan. She said, she will be waiting for the treat and hung up the phone.
 
I wanted to try Trifle from long and somehow or other it was getting postponed. The weather is also hot and a chilled dessert on iftar table will be a perfect dessert. With that in my mind, I started making preparations to make fruits loaded creamy trifle.
 

What is Trifle?

Trifle is a chilled layered dessert found in English Cuisine. Trifle is no fuss and easy to make fun dessert recipe. Here layers mostly divided into three.
 
Base layer, middle layer and top layer. Base layer is mostly made with crushed biscuits or bread or sponge cake.
 
For middle layer, either whipping cream, jello or custard is used. Finally for the top layer, fruits, or chocolate sauce is used. 
 
Base layer and top layer will remain the same. But middle layer will be repeated 2-3 times or more depending on the size of the bowl.
