Ingredients You'll Need
For the Sponge:
4 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup whole milk
For the Filling:
2 cups heavy cream
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup raspberry jam
1 cup fresh raspberries
For the Trifle:
1 cup sherry or brandy
1 cup raspberries
1 cup pomegranate seeds
1 cup chopped pistachios
1 cup grated dark chocolate
The Making of Gordon Ramsay's Christmas Trifle
To start off, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually sift in the flour and baking powder, and add in the vanilla extract and milk. Mix until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the sponge is baking, prepare the filling by whipping the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until well combined. In a separate bowl, mash the raspberries and mix in the raspberry jam.
Once the sponge has cooled, cut it into small squares and place half of them in the bottom of a large trifle dish. Drizzle the sherry or brandy over the sponge squares. Next, spread half of the raspberry mixture over the sponge and top with half of the whipped cream mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining sponge, raspberry mixture, and whipped cream. Finish off by topping with fresh raspberries, pomegranate seeds, chopped pistachios, and grated dark chocolate for a festive and colorful finish.
The Finishing Touches
Cover the trifle and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the sponge to soak up the sherry or brandy. When ready to serve, top with additional raspberries, pomegranate seeds, and pistachios for an eye-catching presentation. Your guests will be impressed by the layers of flavors and textures in this well-organized and creative trifle.
In Gordon Ramsay's Christmas trifle recipe, the classic dessert is elevated to a whole new level with the addition of rich mascarpone cheese, tangy raspberry jam, and a boozy kick of sherry or brandy. This dessert is not only delicious, but it's also a feast for the eyes. So why not add this impressive dessert to your holiday menu and impress your guests with your professional baking skills? Happy holidays and happy trifle-making!
