I followed the directions to make the custard exactly and it never thickened into custard. Very disappointing after all the money and time. It took me a lot longer than 15 min to make it and it never took.

I had been looking for a recipe close to the one my English mother made - so glad I found this, it's pretty much exactly it. My mom didn't used to bother with fresh fruit but I did do the berries (blackberry, raspberry & blueberry - peach and kiwi seem weird to me in a trifle! and it was lovely. Took it to a dinner party where most of the guests had never had a trifle and it was raved over. Note - the custard sauce really did take almost 15 minutes, I tend to be an impatient cook and I started to worry that it wasn't thickening! But it thickened just like it said and the sauce really does make the dish. (MUCH better than the Bird's my mom used! Thank you!

Even though there are many variations on what I remember as a traditional trifle recipe this one looks and tates pretty darn good. Not quite like momma used to make back home in blighty but really one of the best i have found.
