How to Make Devonshire Cream Trifle Or Parfait

  1. **Make the Devonshire Cream:**
  2. In a small saucepan, sprinkle 1 packet (2 teaspoons) of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
  3. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. In a chilled medium bowl, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat.
  5. In a separate bowl, gently combine the cooled gelatin mixture with 1/2 cup sour cream. Mix well.
  6. Gently fold the sour cream mixture into the whipped cream until just combined.
  7. Chill for 30-45 minutes, or until the mixture is thickened and holds its shape.
  8. **Prepare the Fruit Filling:**
  9. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of your favorite fresh fruit (berries, peaches, etc.), and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow the juices to release.
  10. If using peaches or nectarines, gently toss the slices in a mixture of 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
  11. **Assemble the Trifle:**
  12. Cut a hot milk sponge cake or pound cake (see recipe #384648) into 2 x 1/2 inch strips.
  13. In a 2 1/2 to 3-quart clear glass serving bowl, a soufflé dish, or individual parfait glasses, layer half of the cake strips on the bottom.
  14. Top with half of the fruit filling.
  15. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons brandy, liqueur, or fruit juice.
  16. Spoon half of the Devonshire cream over the fruit.
  17. Repeat layers with remaining cake, fruit, and Devonshire cream.
  18. Pipe or dollop the remaining Devonshire cream on top.
  19. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
