It’s Friday, let’s celebrate with this delicious recipe from our favorite food blogger, Christina’s Cucina.
Sheila’s Chocolate Trifle
*make sure to use glass bowls so you can see the layers
Ingredients
- slices or pieces of pound cake, enough to cover the bottom of the bowl(s)
- seedless blackberry jam (I couldn’t find this, so I used seedless raspberry)
- brandy
- a can of peach and pear pieces
- raspberry gelatin (Jello), prepared, but make it so you can put the dessert together before it is completely set
- Bird’s custard, or homemade egg custard (you can use vanilla pudding, but it won’t taste as good)
- 2 to 4 oz good quality dark chocolate
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 pint heavy organic whipping cream
- 1 packet of Cadbury’s Chocolate Buttons or a Cadbury’s Flake bar (Cost Plus has them)
