Wild's Trifles

[wild-in-tent]

Would love any of you experimenters out there to add your trifle recipes here....I have had alot of success with my recent whip up...

Wild's Trifle

Bake 1 Rainbow Cake Mix, when cool, cut it into 1 inch cubes
Use 2 large packages of instant vanilla pudding (will require 4 cups of milk to make up)
I whip up one litre of whipping cream
I use 1 large can of fruit coctail, drained...the next size up from the regular cans is best.
put cake into large glass bowl, put in the drained fruit coctail, pour the pudding over top, mix it a bit, then top with whip cream....
I did this at Xmas and everyone loved it...

So did I ...I am pushing onto 50 in March and after years of cooking and baking up a storm...I am getting smarter and wiser lol! No more slavery for this chickie!

Was wondering if anyone ever invented a black forest trifle...
I can see it now...chocolate cake, marachino cherries on top of whip cream, cherry pie filling and chocolate pudding ...but will work on this till I find out the perfect recipe....

Anyone have any more ideas?

I expect the Black Forest idea would work well if you use a little Grenadine syrup with the cherry pie filling, not a lot but some for intense flavor, add some almond extract to a vanilla pudding or even in the cake mix, drizzle a bit of chocolate syrup over the whole thing in the bowl, serve with a really big spoon! Chocolate shavings? Chocolate chips? Schnapps? Sounds like a tasty thing to experiment on!

Invite me over to try!

I may have to make my own now! LOL

Now I have to try it....sure you just step right on into my parlour....I think I had better make us a meal first as all these lovely spirits we are bound to add into the mix wouldnt be good on an empty tummy lol!

I've seen black forest-type trifles.

Usually made with cherries/kirsch and biscotti soaked with some of the juice/alcohol as the first layer. Then a fruit jelly made with a basic jelly-mixture, flavoured with cherries. Then a chocolate custard, topped with whipped double cream and the top decorated with even more cherries/almonds.

So sweet, the thought makes my teeth ACHE.

Recipe please Polwarth. If it isn't a secret of course.

I canna bide mixtures out of packets full of preservatives & artificial flavourings.

If Granny could not make, it I don't eat it.
