Thank you for sharing such fun ideas!
Sounds DELISH!!!!! Thanks for another great recipe!
Wow!! I love Trifle and this recipe sounds fabulous! I will be giving this a try as soon as I gather together all the ingredients. And I will have to make room in the fridge for it. Really do like this fridge- it is too narrow (side-by-side)- and we can’t even fit a standard size pizza in the freezer. Oh, the troubles we face! Thanks for sharing this recipe here at the start of summer.
Looks delicious! My Nana used to make trifle every summer. I have fond memories of swimming in her pool then warming up with a cup of hot chocolate and a serving of trifle.
And how many calories is this?? LOL – it reads delicious!
PS: and the glaze – when do we put that?
