 Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee

(2nd-5th June 2012)

 

Celebrate the Queen's diamond Jubilee by making this special Recipes4us dessert.

 

We didn't want to stray too much from a traditional recipe, however we've included jelly in this delicious trifle recipe.  It makes a slightly lighter dessert, especially as it has fresh strawberries suspended throughout.

 

Although this recipe has lots of "cheats" - you can buy ready made Swiss roll, custard and meringues which help to make it a really easy dish to prepare - we've added links to the full recipes just in case you want to go the whole hog.

 

If you're having a street party or get together this is guaranteed to be a hit. Click the picture for the recipe plus a little information about Her Majesty.
