How to Make Peach Trifle

  1. **Make the Custard:** In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the sugar and flour until combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
  3. Add the beaten egg yolks and whisk constantly.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Immediately press a sheet of wax paper directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool completely.
  7. **Assemble the Trifle:** Cut the sponge cake into 1-inch cubes or slices.
  8. Place half of the sponge cake cubes in the bottom of a large glass trifle bowl or individual serving glasses.
  9. Gently pierce the cakes with a fork.
  10. Drizzle half of the combined liqueur and juice mixture over the cake.
  11. Top with half of the chopped peaches.
  12. Pour half of the cooled custard over the peaches.
  13. Repeat layers: sponge cake, liqueur mixture, peaches, and custard.
  14. Top with whipped cream.
  15. Garnish with sliced peaches and toasted almonds.
  16. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
