Delightful trifle.

Personally, I am a sucker for a good Christmas movie and make it a point to do a whole marathon over the Christmas holiday, often times including the boys if they care enough to sit still through a movie. Family movie nights are sometimes painful with these guys, one will say the other is breathing too loud, the other will get annoyed if anyone makes any kind of commentary.
Nonetheless, this is still one of my favourite family pastimes. Have you started mapping out your Christmas lunch or dinner yet? I am sure you have, as it takes a lot of planning and effort. You don’t want to be burnt out by the time you finish making your meal. You need to still get ‘jzoozed’ up so you too can enjoy the party! This holiday, ChellzKitchen is running a Trifle Competition alongside Danone Ultra Mel, where you get to upload your best trifle dish and stand a chance to win a cash prize.
This dessert is a signature in many households, with many different variations being a possibility. What are some of your classic trifle elements? Other than Ultra Mel custard of course! Go out there and get your favourite ingredients and upload your star trifle. The image with the most likes will win the cash prize. Have fun with it! When I think back to my childhood, I remember mom loved to use canned peaches; they were a staple in her trifle, alongside custard, jelly and cream. When I make trifle, these are a standard.
I then venture out sometimes and incorporate some other elements such as fresh strawberries if there are any in season, caramel sauce with a vanilla sponge or homemade Swiss Roll. If you are still looking for the best easy Trifle recipe, you have found it! This classic Trifle is the ultimate no bake dessert! It is made using eight simple ingredients and it can also be made up to two days ahead – making it perfect for your next celebration. You would always find a Trifle sitting on our dessert table whenever there was a celebration while we were growing up, and it’s a tradition that we have continued and want to continue with you our valued reader.
