Traditional English Trifle
This border is the Diana Rose.  I thought it a fitting graphic for this fantastic British dessert.
 
My all-time favorite dessert! It's much easier than you think.

 

STEP 1: 

1 cooked "Pound Cake" or similar firm 11X15 inch sheet cake. Cut cake in half horizontally.(homemade or store bought cake)

Note* If rushed, try this shortcut: Buy about 3 packages of lady fingers (hard or soft) instead of cake and continue with spreading on jam.

STEP 2: 

1/3 c. Raspberry jam Spread with jam. Cut into l" X 4" fingers.
1\2 c.Sherry - Sprinkle well on cake fingers.

STEP 3:  The following ingredients go in seperate bowls.

1 pack frozen, drained Raspberries.
1 - 2 cups Coconut or Macaroon cookie crumbs.
2 cups Instant vanilla pudding or make vanilla custard.
1 - 2 cups Whipping cream  (or 1 cup Whip cream + 1 cup Dream Whip)




METHOD  

STEP 4:  Compile your layers.

1. Cover bottom and sides of bowl with cake fingers.
2. Cover with 1/3 of pudding.
3. Cover with 1/3 of cookie crumbs.
4. Dollop 1\2 of raspberries on top of crumbs.
5. Spread with 1/3 Whip cream.
6. Repeat layers ending with whipped cream.
7. Chill at least 8 hr. or overnight.

Yield: 8-12 servings.

For a crowd, use a punch bowl and double or triple recipe depending on bowl size.

Hint:  For special occasions - sprinkle silver balls on top.
 
PASSIONATELY DELIGHTFUL!
