Delicious Simple Trifle

A very good friend of my from twitter her name is Brissiegirl said I could share this dish with you and don't worry if your trying to drop the kilos just use all low fat stuff if you can. Thank you for letting me share this Brissiegirl

Ingredients:

1 x 85 g pkt Raspberry flavoured jelly crystals ( i use Port Wine)
1 x 350g pkt lamington fingers
1 x 100g pkt chocolate instant pudding mix
2  & 1/3 Cups of Milk
1 x 300mL carton thickened cream
1/4 cup icing sugar mixture
2 x 55g Cherry ripe chocolate bars, finely chopped

Method

1. Make raspberry jelly according to the instructions on packet; pour into a shallow sih.  Cover, refrigerate for about 20 minutes, or until jelly is almost set
2. Arrange lamington fingers over base of serving dish (12-cup capacity).  Pour jelly over lamingtons.  Cover; refrigerate for 30 minutes or until jelly is set.
3. Beat chocolate pudding mix and milk in a large bowl with an electric mixer, for about 5 minutes, or until smooth.  Cover; refrigerate for 15 minutes.  Spread evenly over jelly.
4. Beat cream and icing-sugar mixture in a small bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form; spread evenly over pudding layer.  Cover, refrigerate overnight.
5. Serve trifle topped with chopped Cherry Ripe bars.

(I don't bother adding the icing-sugar mixture with the cream, I just put the cream on top.  And you can make it all in one day, I don't think it needs overnight to set).

Enjoy!

Tuna Burgers

This dish is borrowed from a very old kids cook book I have, that my step daughter is now discovering. She has made the following dish for the family & loved it, plus it beats having normal burgers. 

Serves 3 to 6 People 


2 Burgers  = 3 People 
6 Burgers  = 6 People


Utensils

6 Small Paper Bags (that can be used in oven)
Knife
Fork
Spoon
Strainer
Bowl
Baking  Tray


Ingredients


6 Hamburger Buns
Butter
185 grams Tin of Tuna
Half Cup Grated Cheese
1 Small Onion
3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
Salt and Pepper


Method

Turn oven to moderate ( 180 Celsius or 350 Fahrenheit), grate cheese, chop onion, cut buns in half, buttering each half. Drain the tuna well, flake it with a fork. Put tuna in bowl, stir in cheese,onion and Mayonnaise. Add salt and pepper, divide tuna mixture into six lots. Spread evenly over lower half of each bun. Put top on buns, putting each burger into a paper bag. Put onto baking tray heat in oven for 15 minutes to 20 minutes.

Enjoy, if you & your kids make these please come back and let me know what you think of them.

Easy Pie - Dessert or Cake

This dish has been around in a number of versions a friend of mine calls her No Stuff Up Pie, I call it Easy Pie, even Lady Flo Bjelke-Petersen put in her recipe book awhile back & called it Impossible Pie but what ever it's called it's easy to make & tastes wonderful.

You can have this dish by itself with some coffee or tea or even as a dessert with some Ice Cream.

Easy Pie

Utensils

Blender
Pie Dish (about 25 cm to 30 cm)
Measuring Cups

Ingredients

1 Cup Desiccated Coconut
1 Cup Sugar
2 Cups Milk
Half Cup Plain Flour
Half Cup Butter
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
4 Eggs

Method

Turn the oven to moderate (180 Celsius to 200 Celsius), grease the pie dish then blend all the ingredients in the blender. Once that is done pour mixture into the greased pie dish, place in the oven for an hour or until centre is firm.

You will find the coconut forms a nice topping, the flour forms the base and the eggs become a egg custard filling.

If you make it please pop back and post what it was like, I will update this blog dish soon with a picture of mine when I make it again which will be soon.

I've also learnt to make two pies at once as one is never ever enough for this family.
