Cheat your way into the Jubilee trifle with a ready-made version of the ‘Platinum Pudding’
Jemma Melvin’s Lemon Swiss Roll and Amaretti Trifle was crowned the ‘Platinum Pudding’ in BBC One’s The Jubilee Pudding: 70 Years in the Baking. The original recipe takes two hours to prep, with a 35 minute prep time. If you don’t have the time or patience to make this complicated recipe, Instagram baker @cakeontherun has got you covered, creating her own cheat version of the official dessert. Easy enough for anyone to attempt, it takes just five minutes. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients
- a lemon Swiss roll
- a jar of lemon curd
- clementines in jelly pots
- a pot of vanilla custard
- a pack of amaretti biscuits
- fruit coulis
- a pack of meringue kisses
- a small tub of double cream
- a pack of white chocolate chips
Method
Step 1: Slice the Swiss roll into chunks and put a few slices into the bottom of a large glass
Step 2: Add the clementine jelly (if you can only get orange jelly, add a few fresh clementine segments to the glass)
Step 3: Pour over 3-4 tbsp of custard
Step 4: Pop in 2-3 amaretti biscuits
Step 5: Pour over 2 tbsp of coulis, then 2 tbsp of cream
Step 6: Top with meringues, chocolate and an amaretti biscuit
