How to Make Rhubarb And Strawberry Trifle
- In a medium saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges. Do not boil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and pale yellow.
- Gradually whisk about 1/3 of the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs. This prevents scrambling.
- Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, for 3-5 minutes, or until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour custard into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and cool completely.
- Once cooled, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently whisk one-quarter of the whipped cream into the custard to lighten it.
- Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spread half of the cubed cake in the bottom of a 12-14 cup glass serving bowl.
- Spread half of the chopped rhubarb over the cake, followed by half of the sliced strawberries.
- Repeat layers: cake, rhubarb, strawberries.
- Spread the prepared custard evenly over the top layer.
- Chill the trifle for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the custard to set.
- Before serving, garnish with toasted slivered almonds, a few whole strawberries, and additional whipped cream, if desired.
