Ingredients

2.5 Liters Cow Milk

200 grams Custard Powder (Rafhan or any good brand)

200 grams Sugar (Adjust to taste)

250 ml Whipping Cream (Not fresh cream)

1 Plain Pound Cake (Cut into small pieces)

2-3 Bananas (Sliced)

2 Apples (Peeled and chopped)

1 cup Pineapple chunks (or Fruit Cocktail)

Red and Green Jelly (Prepared and cubed)

Handful of Almonds and Pistachios (Finely chopped)

Method

Step 1: Boil the Milk Pour 2.5 liters of fresh cow milk into a large pot. Boil it on high flame for about 7-8 minutes. Once it reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low.

Step 2: Dissolve Custard Powder Take half a liter of warm milk out of the pot into a separate jug. Add 200g of custard powder and whisk thoroughly until it's completely smooth with no lumps. Never add dry powder directly to the boiling pot.

Step 3: Sweeten the Mix Add 200g of sugar to the boiling milk in the pot. Stir for about 2 minutes until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 4: Thicken the Custard Gradually pour the prepared custard-milk mixture into the pot in a very thin stream. Keep stirring continuously with a spoon or whisk to ensure a smooth, professional consistency without any bubbles or lumps.

Step 5: Add the Creamy Secret Once the custard has thickened, slowly add the whipping cream in a thin stream while stirring constantly. This Pakwan Center secret creates a velvety, rich texture. Turn off the flame immediately after mixing.

Step 6: Prepare the First Layer In a large glass serving bowl, arrange a layer of small cake pieces at the bottom. Top the cake with a layer of sliced bananas, chopped apples, and pineapples.

Step 7: Repeat the Layering Pour a generous layer of the warm custard over the fruit and cake. Repeat this entire process (Cake -> Fruit -> Custard) two more times to create a total of 3 beautiful layers.

Step 8: Garnish and Decorate Once the top layer is smooth, decorate it with prepared red and green jelly cubes. Sprinkle finely chopped almonds and pistachios over the top for a professional look.

Step 9: Chill and Set Place the trifle in the freezer for 1 to 1.5 hours. Serving it ice-cold ensures the best taste and the perfect set for the layers.

Notes

Whipping Cream Secret: Using whipping cream instead of fresh cream is the "Pakwan Center" secret for a stable and extra-creamy trifle.

Lump-Free Tip: Always stir the custard continuously while pouring the mixture to prevent any bubbles or lumps.

Fruit Choice: If you prefer a more colorful look, use a canned fruit cocktail instead of just pineapple.
