for one to two hours just to set enough and then we'll get into the evening all right that was in the fridge for a couple of hours I just cut it into slices there you go awesomeness hope you like these I get a container and get strawberry raspberry at one of the red chilies or jell-o's pour it in just follow the packet now this is done get the bowl that you can put the trifle in now make sure you've got a good sized bowl now get a bunch of different berries I like to use pitted cherries strawberries raspberries blueberries stuff like that put them in the base of the bulb now get this pour it in now put this in the fridge to set you can put it in the freezer if you want to speed that process up but in the fridge could take four hours in the freezer you could reduce this to one and a half to two hours now do the same with a green one of jell-o just and then just set this aside we want this to start to set just very slightly now what you want to do is bake a cake you can buy a packet cake or whatever just by sponge cake or you just make one from scratch like I did let it set once it's cool just cut it up into pieces whatever size you want to put in the trifle now normally people put that over the base and a trifle but for me I prefer the jello as the base all right once that's broken up and the jello part the first layer has set then we're just gonna chuck this in it no just get chunks of the cake or whatever you're going to use this may not be a traditional trifle but this is how I make a trifle then pour anywhere from a quarter to a half a cup roughly of sweet sherry over then I pour over vanilla custard now it's entirely up to you how much I like to put in about a liter now get some different types of fruits and berries and about a cup and just sprinkle it over the top now we just put this in the fridge while the green jello is setting and then what we're going to do is we're going to get some thickened cream or whipping cream and beat that and then by the time that is done this and the jello should be ready okay now get the green jello that's it hasn't set but it's starting to get slightly gluggy you just pour that straight over um now just put this in the fridge or freezer so it sits properly just from this point another 30 minutes in the freezer or 45 minutes the fridge should be enough right now that that is pretty much set get the whipped cream that you've whipped and put it in now how much cream you want to use is fine anywhere between 300 and 600 mils is probably good now decorate on top with whatever you like I like to put a bunch of blueberries just around and then maybe some strawberries get a large mixing bowl put in four cups of desiccated coconut add a tablespoon or so of lemon rind so just great the skin of a lemon and then put in a can could be a 395 grams of sweetened condensed milk now mix this together you can use a wooden spoon if you want that it's probably going to be easier to really get into it with your hands so just start with the spoon and use your hands if you need to if you do need to use your hands make sure they are very clean now get 100 grams of glazed cherries and just cut off into pieces and mix them in with this you're probably going to want to really get into it with your hands alright so that's looking good sort of a light pink color to where you want give it that Christmas you sort of feel and now we're going to roll them into balls and put them on a baking tray you know give a baking tray lined it with baking paper if you've got something like this this is like a rubbery plus these silicone type thing that you can use which I find awesome and just get these and just roll them into balls and just place them a little bit of pop now while you're doing this turn the oven on to 160 degrees Celsius given spam force if not 180 so that'll be about 320 degrees or about 300 and I just pop these in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes keep an eye on them they just start to go very slightly Brown then we're done right they're done so you just slightly browned still pink and just leave them on there for about 10 or 15 minutes just to cool get a large mixing bowl that's microwave safe and throw in about 500 grams of white chocolate now put this in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir then another 30 seconds and stir and keep repeating that until this is all melted and nice and creamy all right that's melted looking good now add a teaspoon of peppermint essence now get about a dozen candy canes put them in a bag like this and just bash them not so they're too fine so you want fine beat Center for some chunks or re we're done with that and add the crushed candy cane and just stir this in now get a baking tray and put the yumminess in there just flatten it out yeah now just get another couple of candy canes and crush them now just get some of them and just sprinkle it over the top and just flatten them in just a little bit I like to use a spork for this some people call it a theme all right now just pop this in the fridge until it's set now that will take maybe an hour or two and then we start breaking it up well that's it just bash it just turn your stove on to medium just to start start with one cup of sugar any kind of sugar is fine for this and then add one cup of water so what we want to do is just bring this to the boil and just stir this until the sugar has dissolved okay the sugar is dissolved now add in 4 cups of cranberries you can use fresh or frozen personally I like to use fresh just make sure you clean them before you add them to this just give them a good clean and now we just give these a bit of a stir what we do is return this to the boil then we reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes roughly basically until the cranberries burst so that's what we're looking for we want the cranberries to burst this is just a very basic cranberry sauce recipe or method for making cranberry sauce you can add other ingredients if you want you know in on occasion I'll mix in some chopped pecans if you want you can add some some raisins or some currants if you want you can just really just add that oh just some blueberries just for added sweetness all right these are pretty much done now they're for their burst so I think good it's what we do now is we take this off the heat and you've got to let it cool completely at room temperature now that could vary depending on what time of year use it cetera but I find that it takes at least one to two hour for this to cool at room temperature and once that's cooled then what we'll do is completing the fridge and we kill it and once again that depends on your fridge what temperature you have it set to usually to chill this in the fridge after it's cold will take another hour hour and a half well these are this cranberry sauce is already it's nice and chilled get a mixing bowl with a stand mixer or a hand mixer if you don't have one Chuck in about 125 grams of butter then add half the cup granulated sugar and half a cup of firmly packed brown sugar now won't beat this until it's pale and fluffy now get 2 egg yolks add them [Music] now add one teaspoon of vanilla extract and half a teaspoon of rum extract then add two thirds of a cup old eggnog now just mix this on low now add about anywhere from half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of ground nutmeg and equal amount of grounded cinnamon so if you're putting half a teaspoon of ground nutmeg putting half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon now get about 2 cups of self-raising flour while this is on low no just get the mixture now the size of anyway from 1 to 2 tablespoons depends on how big you want the cookies to be just place them about 2 inches apart what you want to do is pre-heat your oven to about 175 degrees Celsius which is about 350 degrees Fahrenheit now these should take about about 12 to 15 minutes now you want to put them on the lower shelf don't put them on the top now just leave them on here for about 10 to 15 minutes just to cool and set a little then transfer them to a wire rack or something a little them cool completely now get a large mixing bowl put in 2 cups of powdered sugar icing sugar confectionery sugar same thing different name then add about 60 to 70 grams of room-temperature butter then add just a little bit maybe about half a teaspoon of rum extract about three tablespoons of eggnog you can always add a little more once you've mixed this if you think it needs to be not as thick so for this I'm just gonna use a hand mixer because I'll get a better consistency but you don't have to [Music] [Applause] get your cookies get the frosting put it over the top however much you want how thick you want it now you're not to leave as is or you can sprinkle a little bit of nutmeg over the top which is what I like to do and just serve up now or you can put this in the fridge to let the frosting set for about 10 minutes either way it's going in your stomach so it doesn't really matter [Music] [Music] my first thing you're gonna need is one packet of raspberry jelly now I'm using raspberry you can use whatever you want but perhaps piece of Christmas color so why not then with some boiling water pour it straight in so it's about 1 and 1/2 cups now dissolve this Chile you have about 1 and a half cups of water now putting in just a bit more than one and a half because well the jelly is gonna take up some of the room already so give it a bit of a stir just get it to dissolve now what you want to do now is put this in the fridge for about 45 minutes and this needs to cool so we'll do that now all right now while that is cooling or chilling in the fridge get if you don't have a food processor that is and I don't get a plastic bag and put it in the plastic bag a whole packet of pilots nice biscuits now what we want to do is crush these so get a rolling pin and just bash it down until it's crushed now grab 170 grams of unsalted butter and melt it now I'd like to just put it in the microwave so just melt it however you want and then we'll proceed with the next part now I'll get a bowl decent sized bowl like this and put the crushed biscuit straight in here and add the melted butter to the crumbs and now we want to mix this in I get some sort of baking tray like this that's got a fair amount of height to at least an inch and a half two inches grease it and then clip that crumb mix straight in so now we want to just spread it out a bit evenly and then we want to Pat it down really quite firmly and whatever you want for this I use and this is a big spoon like this works quite well now this is nicely pressed down so it's quite firm so now this goes in the fridge for about 30 minutes to cool a bit now after you've wait about 30 minutes so the crumb mix is ready to come out put in roughly 10 to 12 grams of unflavored gelatin and then put half a cup of hot water and let it dissolve you can give it a little stir just to help it dissolve now in a bowl pour in a can of sweetened condensed milk it's about 395 grams and pour in the unflavored gelatin mix and mix it in okay they'll take they now cooled crumb mix out and pull the condensed milk with the gelatin mix over the top of it show me around a bit just so it completely covers it now place this back in the fridge for another 30 minutes alright that's ready

couple of hours it's set it's ready to go now we'll just cut it into pieces and start eating yeah now all you need for this is some crackers any type I've chosen one called Jats now get some pepperoni or salami something like that cut it into a triangle that's going to be the Hat so you can place that there get some ricotta cheese put it in something you can squeeze it down preferably and this will be base of the Hat so you just spread that out and the beard just use something to thicken the beard up a bit I'll get some celery and cut it into thin pieces that and fry balls use a dried fruit

a separate bowl put in the three egg whites and we want to beat these until they are white light fluffy and have peace [Music] [Applause] [Music] you see it's got soft peaks perfect now grab the ball with the first mixture and scooping this and we're going to fold it in now just fold this in now what I'm going to do is I'm just going to transfer it back into the other ball now you can just whisk this part in just lightly so becomes a little creamier but I'm going to use the machine to do it because it's more fun just pour the eggnog straight in yeah so pull it to about there and then there'll be creamy stuff on top you can just scoop that in put it on top and just garnish with a little bit of nutmeg you can put a bit of cinnamon sugar on too if you wish but they're all put in a cinnamon stick that can be quite popular but I just have it like that [Music] [Music] [Music] all righty this is going to be so easy now just get your strawberries and just take the end off so the bottom is flat you can place it down like that however you like and then just cut the top off like that so that's going to be the little Santa hat now get some cream that's being whipped you can buy it already

comes away from the pan it's ready alright it's all nice there's you can see it's thickened there you go see it's coming away from the pan there see I'm creating that and now if I go around the sides
