What is Cookie Trifle?
Cookie trifle is inspired by a classic English dessert involving layers of fruit, custard, and cake. However, it is a little different as rather than using sponge cake, this recipe utilizes store bought chocolate cookies that become soft and cake-like as the trifle sets in the fridge. This version also doesn’t contain any fruit but it isn’t needed considering how delicious it is with the layers of homemade custard, cookies, and chocolate garnish.
Pro Tips
- Continuously whisk the custard mixture to ensure that the mixture doesn’t become lumpy or curdled.
- Don’t cook the custard over too high of heat as you don’t want the pan to scorch. Cooking over medium heat will be perfect.
- If you would like to make a dairy-free custard, you can replace the milk and butter with plant-based versions.
- Create several layers of cookies and custard to ensure you get plenty of cookie and custard in every bite.
What to Serve with Cookie Trifle?
Simply serve slices of this trifle with coffee or tea for a decadent dessert. However, you could also serve them with fruit such as fresh cherries or strawberries.
