Quick and Easy Delicious Trifle

You are about to have a small gathering with your neighbours or friends. Appetizers? Check! Main meal? Check! Cocktail? Check! Dessert? Opps! The clock is ticking. Your guests will be at your front door in less than an hour. "What to do?" you may ask yourself. You want to end the party with a boom. You need a dessert that loved by everybody, looked professionally and the taste will not leave your guests feeling very heavy, to complete the meal.

Trifle is your answer. Who doesn't love trifle? The presentation looks appetizing. It never failed to be the main attraction on dessert counter in any party, especially if it is served in a tall glass. Moreover, with a combination of different ingredients and texture, the taste will drive you out of this world. Layers of cake, jelly, pudding, fruits and whipped cream make you licking your lips by looking at it. It is best to add fruits of your choice to your trifle. Fruits like strawberry, raspberry, grapes, pineapple, peach, banana, tangerine are the most suitable with trifle.

The best way to eat trifle is by scooping it from the top to the bottom of the glass. This way you will get to taste all the stuffs in it at a go. Make sure you have a suitable spoon for it. I suggest a spoon with long handle.

Even though the presentation of this dessert seems like it is a very hard to do, is surprisingly not! Here is my version of trifle. I bet you will be delighted to find out how easy it is.

Ingredients

1 ready-made pound cake

1 packet of instant jelly (strawberry or raspberry flavour)

1 packet of instant vanilla pudding

Slices of peaches

Whipped cream

Maraschinos cherry (for decoration)

Prepare the jelly by following the manufacturer's instruction. Keep it warm and in runny consistency. Cut the cake into small one-inch cubes. Place the cube cakes at the bottom of the glass. Carefully pour the jelly into the glass, just enough to cover the cakes. Let it set, you may want to put them in the refrigerator to speed up the process. Meanwhile, prepare the vanilla pudding. Once the jelly is set, pour the pudding onto it up to two third of the glass. Arrange the peach slices on top of the pudding. Let it set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. To serve, simply pipe or put a few dollops of whipped cream and put cherry on top.

Voila! You will be the talk of the town. Congratulations.

    Sounds great, and if you use light pound cake, sugar/fat free pudding and Cool Whip Free, it can be eaten with a modicum of guilt.
