Ingredients
- Fresh apricots
- 2 cups, sliced
- Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon
- Digestive biscuits
- 2 cups, crushed
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup, melted
- Custard
- 2 cups
- Whipped cream
- 1 cup
- Fresh mint leaves
- for garnish
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the sliced apricots, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the apricots are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter with the crushed digestive biscuits to form a crumbly mixture. This will be your homemade biscuit crumble.
- In a trifle dish or individual serving glasses, start with a layer of custard, followed by the crushed digestive biscuit mixture, and then the cooled apricot mixture. Repeat these layers until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of custard on top.
- Sprinkle the remaining biscuit crumble over the top layer of custard.
- Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, top the trifle with a generous dollop of whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
- Enjoy your homemade Apricot Crumble Trifle, a sweet tribute to British dessert tradition.
Tips
- For an even richer flavor, you can use homemade whipped cream and custard. Also, feel free to substitute apricots with peaches or nectarines based on seasonal availability.
- For a fun twist, you could add a splash of Amaretto or Brandy to the apricot mixture while cooking.
