"Norwegian Trifle"
This is a recipe that has been passed down though my family from my grandmother.
Ingredients:
3 - 4 eggs
“small” cup of sugar
1 tbsp gelatine
1 can of fruit (sliced peaches or pineapple pieces)
Instructions:
Seperate eggs and mix yolks & sugar until light in colour. In a seperate bowl beat the egg whites until fluffy. Heat juice from fruit & gelatine in a pot until disolved. Add fruit to egg yolk and mix. Add juice and gelatine to yolk mix. Fold in egg whites. Leave in fridge to set for an hour.
I’ll try to remember to take some photos of it during the making process. Feel free to leave your comments about how it worked for you!

I’ve just finished making a big batch of this. I used 6 eggs and two tins of fruit. The fruit I used was sliced peaches and normal fruit salad. I found that after whipping the egg whites they quickly went back to liquid form so I had to give them a quick whip up again before the folding at the end.
Eggs seperated and whites whipped
Yolks mixed with sugar
The whole lot folded together, ready to go into the fridge
Small world! I’m an ex-Otago girl who’s grandma used to make Norwegian trifle (…why is it called Norwegian trifle?) Wanted to make it for dessert on Saturday night - I now live in England and couldn’t phone my mum for the recipe as she would have been asleep. Googled it and there it was! Your recipe is a tiny bit different - no fruit my Grans so dissolve the gelatine in a small cup of hot water instead. We always had it with tinned peaches though and runny cream poured over. Delicious! Went down a treat after our BBQ - thanks!
