A quick and easy layered dessert featuring ripe peaches, vanilla sponge cake cubes, whipped cream, and a tangy homemade raspberry coulis. Perfect for summer gatherings and last-minute guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 6 cups vanilla sponge cake, cubed
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coulis)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for sweetening peaches and cream)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup almonds or toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Coulis: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until raspberries break down and mixture thickens slightly, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Let cool completely.
  2. Peach Prep: Peel and slice peaches into thin wedges. Toss gently with 1 tablespoon sugar to macerate and draw out juices. Set aside.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Avoid overwhipping.
  4. Cube the Cake: Cut vanilla sponge cake into roughly 1-inch cubes. Optionally sprinkle a little raspberry coulis over cubes to moisten.
  5. Assemble the Trifle: Layer one-third of cake cubes at bottom of trifle bowl. Spoon a layer of macerated peaches over cake, drizzle raspberry coulis, then add a generous layer of whipped cream. Repeat layers two more times, finishing with whipped cream on top.
  6. Garnish and Chill: Sprinkle toasted almonds or coconut flakes over top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid graininess. Macerate peaches with sugar to enhance juiciness. Strain raspberry coulis to remove seeds for smooth texture. Use firm peaches to prevent mushiness. Chill trifle for at least 2 hours to meld flavors and firm dessert. Refresh whipped cream by whisking before serving leftovers.
