Mr. Kipling 6 Trifle Bakewells

Product Information

A side note, this will probably end up looking messy. The jam will mix a little with the almond cream and you’ll possibly end up with a less than perfect looking uncooked tart. Messy is fine. We are making bakewells combined with trifle here, so anything goes.

By far, the best Mr Kiplings are the trifle bakewells. Layers of plum and raspberry jam, vanilla almond sponge, and a custard topping with sprinkles, all in that signature crumbly pastry case and tin foil. Our family became obsessed with them growing up, and we reinvigorated this obsession last week when I spotted some in Sainsbury’s. Not only were they a very welcome sugar injection whilst painting ceilings (bloody hard work, by the way), they also reminded me that there’s nothing wrong with a smattering of sprinkles to make life fun. Begin by gently melting your chocolate over a bain marie or in the microwave. It should be only just melted, don’t worry if there are a few lumps of unmelted chocolate in there. Set to one side.

Top with sprinkles, then allow to set at room temperature for an hour or so before eating.

Chocolate Slices

I would like to reassure you that 100% of the palm oil we source is certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the leading independent certifying body. All our palm oil suppliers also have policies which covers No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation of Labour, and these have been in place for several years before this became the new RSPO standard in late 2019. Consequently, this means that the palm oil we use only comes from certified sustainable sources, which avoid damaging the tropical rainforests and biodiversity of Southeast Asia. Remove from the heat and allow the custard to cool ever so slightly. Test a little by dipping your finger in - if its too hot to hold your finger in, allow it to cool for longer. With that being said, I expect you are wondering why we cannot just stop using palm oil – sustainable or not. This is a commonly asked question and one I hope to answer below. For a real taste of home, browse our Puddings and Desserts section and get tempted by all of the delicious food that you could have delivered to your door. Remember Angel Delight? Nothing could taste more nostalgic than this lovely whipped dessert and we sell so many different flavours! Ambrosia Devon Custard is another family favourite along with Ambrosia Semolina, Ambrosia Creamed Rice, Ambrosia Rice Pudding and Ambrosia Tapioca (remember that from school lunches?!). For that special occasion you will probably do what we do in the UK and go to your higher end supermarket to get that lovely treat to make your day. We recommend the fabulous Marks and Spencer Salted Caramel Sauce to add that special something to your ice cream or their White Chocolate Fudge Sauce - a real favourite of our grandchildren! Waitrose too can offer you those sweet treats - try their Seriously Chocolatey Dipping Sauce which is simply heavenly!

Palm oil also plays a vital role in the reduction of poverty in areas where palm is grown and stopping the production of palm oil altogether would impact the 4.5 million families across Malaysia and Indonesia who rely on the industry to feed their families. Spoon 1-2 tsp jam into each baked tartlet and spread to cover the base. There should be just enough to cover the base.

Cat Sarsfield this week on the subject too. But body politics aside, I think a Mr Kipling cake in any form would be considered a guilty pleasure for a pastry chef. Guilty maybe because I haven’t made it, or maybe because it is considered processed junk. But honestly I have zero guilt about eating cakes made to look unnervingly perfect and crammed full of sugar. They are nostalgic and fun, even if they do make my teeth hurt. As a side note, you can OF COURSE make your own custard here. Personally I love the flavour and colour of Bird’s custard, but if you want to step it up then it’s the perfect time to employ those crème pat skills we covered in week 2. So, as you can see, it's not as simple as replacing or eliminating palm oil but we do recognise the need to source it responsibly, hence our work to source only RSPO certified palm oil. Mr. Kipling produced a range of cakes which include nuts are part of their ingredients. We include a ‘May Contain Nuts’ statement on our wider range of Mr. Kipling Cakes as we cannot guarantee the absence of nuts owing to our product range and manufacturing methods.
