Trifle Pudding (Part two)

Part one of the Trifle Pudding was shared here by me

http://m-n-mcook.blogspot.ae/2011/06/trifle-pudding.html

This time around, I added a few ingredients and that really altered the taste. Let me now share the new recipe with you guys :)

Ingredients:

Sponge cake and a few teaspoons of fruit juice to moisten it.
Milk chocolate bar (any brand - I used Cadbury)
Sliced bananas
Half a tin of Nestle condensed milk (1 tin is usually 390g)
Half a cup of vanilla custard
A few tablespoons of nutella
A small tin of nestle cream
Peach slices (fresh or canned) - I used the canned ones and they were really yum

Method:

I used a deep dish glass casserole dish to create the pudding in, because it is just perfect. So first, start off by slicing the sponge cake in 3 medium-thick layers. Moisten the layers of sponge with a few teaspoons of fruit juice.  On the bottom layer, melt small pieces of the milk chocolate and place gently at the bottom of your deep dish glass casserole. Now pour condensed milk thinly over this and arrange the banana slices over the condensed milk. Now spread Nutella on the other 2 layers of sponge cake. Place one layer over the banana slices and cover with vanilla custard. Place the other layer of nutella sponge (prepared in the step before) and cover with Nestle cream. Now arrange the peach slices over it to garnish the dessert.

                   

The most important part is this dessert needs to be prepared at least 24 hours in advance so that the layers can set together and that's what makes it really tasty :)
