Instructions:
-
Prepare the Custard Cream:
- Start by making the custard cream. In a bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, flour, and egg yolks until smooth.
- Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the mixture, then place the entire pod in the bowl as well.
- Transfer the bowl to the stove, and heat over medium heat, whisking continuously. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens and becomes a smooth custard.
- Once thickened, remove the vanilla pod and set the cream aside to cool. Cover the surface of the cream with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer the custard to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle.
-
Whip the Cream:
- Place the cold heavy cream and powdered sugar into a stand mixer with the whisk attachment.
- Beat the cream on high speed until soft peaks form. Set the whipped cream aside for assembling the trifle.
-
Assemble the Trifle:
- Take four glass cups or small bowls for serving the trifle.
- Begin by cutting the Pavesini biscuits in half, and place a layer of them in the bottom of each glass.
- Add a layer of softened cherries (drain the juice before using) over the biscuits, followed by a generous layer of the chilled custard cream.
- Add another layer of Pavesini biscuits, more cherries, and another layer of custard.
- Finish with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
-
Garnish and Chill:
- Garnish each trifle with a fresh cherry and a few additional pieces of Pavesini biscuits for decoration.
- Refrigerate the trifles for at least 2 hours, or until ready to serve.
