Mincemeat Trifle
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + chilling Cook: 15 min.
YIELD: 8-10 servings.
Instead of fixing a traditional pie, I gussied up mincemeat by creating this fancy trifle. The recipe's a time-saver, since it can be prepared a day ahead.
Ingredients
-
6 large egg yolks
-
2 cups whole milk
-
2/3 cup sugar
-
4 teaspoons grated lemon zest
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
2 cups prepared mincemeat
-
1/3 cup lemon juice
-
1 prepared angel food cake (8 to 10 ounces)
-
1 cup heavy whipping cream
-
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
-
Red and green candied cherries, optional
Directions

1.
In a saucepan, combine egg yolks, milk, sugar, lemon zest and salt until blended. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture reaches 160°, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2.
Meanwhile, combine mincemeat and lemon juice. Tear cake into 1-in. cubes; place a third of the cake in a trifle bowl or 2-qt. serving bowl. Top with a third of the custard and half of the mincemeat. Repeat layers. Top with remaining custard.

In a bowl, beat cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form; spread over custard. Garnish with cherries if desired. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
