Click below to listen to Chefs Jackie and Jeff talk about these recipes and tips:
The first recipe for Trifle was from a cookbook published in 1596 in England. Recipes vary greatly, but its essentially a layered desert, usually in a clear glass container, sometimes atop a pedestal. Alternate layers of cake (sometimes soaked in a flavored alcohol), custard, gelatin and whipped cream are typical. Use your imagination to come up with your own creations, but use the one below for fast, delicious results.

Your chocolate trifle recipe sounds so sumptuous! Your kids surely loved it! Just make sure you remind them to brush their teeth well so they won't get cavities. Or at least make them visit the Buckhead dental clinic at least twice a year.
ReplyDeleteI should definitely make one of these before I go to my Rockford Il dentist for dental treatment. I'll be having dental implants soon.
