Negin Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 All because of this article yesterday, I feel ever so nostalgic and long for my British upbringing and trifles galore :D. Love a good trifle. Had a dear friend who used to make the absolute best trifles ever. If you have a great trifle recipe, please share. I hope to start making them very soon. Here's one I found on pinterest. And here's another one. I love tiramisu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in KY Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Chocolate cake, raspberries with some sauce/juice, raspberry mousse and whipped cream. Custard works well, too. Oh, and fresh raspberries and chocolate curls for the top. :) Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 not the one Rachel made on friends:D Lady fingers or angel food cake sliced on the bottom. Pour some sherry or madeira over that. I think traditionally it is strawberry jelly (jello) next. I like Raspberry with Mandarin orange slices mixed in. Let set. Next layer is a thick custard. Let set. Then homemade whipped cream, not too sweet. Sometimes I mix a small amount of the sherry or madeira in (just a hint) Then I like to put fresh raspberries on top. Off the top of my head, that is what I do (I don't have my book nearby):D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennislady29 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'm not sure if this qualifies as a true trifle, but it's delicious and easy. 1 angel food cake, torn into pieces Beat together 8 oz. softened cream cheese and 1 can condensed milk 9 oz. Cool Whip or freshly whipped and sweetened cream 2 containers fresh strawberries or blueberries orange liqueur (optional) Layer half of cake, fruit (can pour a little orange liqueur over the fruit), cream cheese mixture, and whipped cream. Repeat with remaining half of ingredients. Refrigerate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn in Ohio Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 This is incredible, you can also sub strawberries for the raspberries. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Raspberry-Lemon-Trifle-105181 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenangelcat Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 My dh is British and the trifle he always had was; strawberries in syrup or frozen strawberries (thawed) jelly roll soaked in 1 packet of strawberry jello then sprinkled with sweet sherry topped with custard and then whipped cream Although the above is my favourite, we occasionally do a chocolate one with chocolate cake, chocolate pudding and cool whip.

happyhomemaker Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 The favorite trifle here isa chocolate one. Brownies drizzled with Kahlua Chocolate pudding Cool whip Toffee bits Oh, and the best part is that when you finish making it at night after everyone has gone to bed, there is always a bit of Kahlua brownie leftover that should not be wasted and must be eaten right then alongside a glass of wine.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellecv Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Warning: very, very rich! :D The layers: Giardelli brownies Devil's food chocolate pudding Raspberries (Thaw out a bag or frozen ones and mix in a couple tablespoons of powdered sugar to sweeten. You should be able to pour this mixture on)) Top with more rasberry mixture and fresh raspberries. Serve with plenty of water! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMommy Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 This isn't a traditional trifle, but I made it last weekend to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee, and it was a huge hit... definitely going in my permanent recipe collection!

Negin Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 These are all great. Thank you everyone. Copying and pasting and will be trying them out slowly (or maybe not so slowly :D). Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
