Blend together egg yolks and sugar in a bowl. Warm the milk then pour it on to egg mixture. Stir well, return the custard to the pan and cook over low heat. Do not allow it to simmer or it will curdle. When it is thick enough to coat back of a wooden spoon remove from heat. Strain custard over sponge cakes and leave to set. Just before serving whip cream with egg whites until it forms soft peaks, then spread it over the trifle.

Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port

Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port are my top picks for Trifle. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. You could try NV Solera Cream Sherry. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.
