2. Simmer and add the custard paste to the boiling milk slowly stirring continuously. After it becomes a little thick, remove from flame.
3. Cool it and keep it in the refrigerator.

For the fruits layer

1. Pineapple, apple, mangoes (ripe but firm), strawberry, seedless grapes or any fruits of your choice but avoid using bananas and oranges as I personally feel that it makes the trifle soggy.
2.  Cut the fruits into small pieces and keep it aside.You can keep apples in a cup of water to which a few drops of lemon juice is added to prevent discoloration.

Prepare the jelly as per instructions on the pack. After it cools, set it in a tray and refrigerate it but do not put this in freezer.
