There are three separate layers with separate ingredients. For the cranberry layer get 1 cup sugar, 24 oz fresh cranberries, 1 cinnamon stick and 1 1/2 cups water.
For the second custard layer you need 9 egg yolks, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 1/3 cups sugar, 4 1/2 cups 2% milk, 1 tablespoon butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt.
The third one is the cake made of 1 9×13 white baked cake. It should have the shape of a cube and it should be cooled. Don’t forget about the whipped cream on top.
Start by preparing the cranberry layer of the cranberry trifle. Mix all the ingredients together in a pan. Wait for the mixture to boil and lower the heat. Leave the pan uncovered and continue cooking for 10 more minutes. When it cools down, remove the cinnamon stick.
The next step is the custard. Get a saucepan and fill it with the cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Include the milk and cook everything on medium heat. Let it boil for two more minutes. Use a bowl to whisk the egg yolks and add one cup of the milk mix at a slow pace. Cook it again and boil for 2 minutes. Once it’s done, add the vanilla and butter. Let it cool for 20 minutes and leave it in the fridge later.
You can now start putting together the cranberry trifle. Put the cake on the bottom, layer it with half of the cranberry sauce, and top it off with half oft he custard. Go on in the same order until you run out of the ingredients.
