Not so much a recipe but a hack using ginger loaf for the most epic trifle sponge. Who said Christmas can't be easier!

Ingredients

1 Gingerbread Loaf (see attached recipe in notes)
1 kg thick custard (about 4 cups)
butterscotch liqueur or fireball or chosen alcohol
2 can caramel condensed milk see notes
2 cups cream
2 caramilk flakes or chocolate to decorate

Directions

Break up half the prepared gingerbread loaf into pieces and layer in the bottom of a trifle bowl
Measure with your heart and drizzle some alcohol over the loaf. For alcohol free you can use ginger beer, ginger syrup or alcohol free spirits
Next take half the custard and layer on top of the loaf
To prepare the caramel, empty the cans or jar into a separate bowl and using an electric beater beat for two to three minutes. This aerates the caramel and lightens it in colour
Take half the whipped caramel and spread it over the custard.
Next repeat the layer of gingerbread, alcohol custard and then caramel again
Whip cream and spread over the top as the final layer. Then garnish with broken flake or chocolate

Recipe Notes

If caramel condensed milk is unavailable, barkers sell a jar of dulce de leche, this works well and is usually near the ice cream toppings in the supermarket
