trifles-two questions

mrs. remy

Ok, I think I am going to make some sort of trifle to take to Easter dinner. So does anyone have a delicious recipe for one? I have found all sorts of recipes online, but they all look really good and I am feeling really indecisive.

Second, any idea where I can pick up a trifle bowl for cheap? TIA!

I make 2 different trifles, but I don't really have a recipe for either one. One is yellow cake cut up into cubes, vanilla pudding, strawberries, and Cool Whip all layered in the dish. The other is chocolate cake cut into cubes, chocolate pudding, either chocolate chips or crushed toffee or butterscotch candies, and Cool Whip all layered in a bowl.

I think BB&B has a trifle bowl for around $15. I'd also check Walmart.

Thanks for posting this!!  I have been hunting for a good recipe all morning for the same reason.

My trifle bowl was from BB&B, $20 tops.

Here is a recipe I love:

INGREDIENTS

   *  1 (18.25 ounce) package German chocolate cake mix
   * 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
   * 1 2/3 cups milk
   * 1/2 cup Bailey's
   * 1/2 cup Kahlua
   * 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
   * 6 (1.4 ounce) bars chocolate covered toffee bars, frozen and
crushed


DIRECTIONS

  1. In a 9x13 in pan, bake cake according to package directions.
Cool and crumble. Make pudding, according to package directions, with
milk.
  2. In a large trifle or other glass serving bowl, place half of the
crumbled cake. Pour half of the booze over the cake, and spread half of
the pudding over that. Top with half of the whipped topping, sprinkled
with half the crumbled candy bars. Repeat layers in the same order.
Refrigerate until serving.

I got my trifle dish at Kohl's. I am making one for Easter too! Sorry I dont have the exact ingredients but here goes:

1 choc cake mix

1 tub cool whip

1 batch of instant chocolate pudding

some heath bars crunched up (i use the food processor)

coffee flavored liquor

1 square semi-sweet bakers chocolate

 Bake the chocolate cake, cut into small pieces, place one layer at the bottom of the bowl and drizzle Coffee flavored liquor over top. Then a layer of choc. pudding, the crushed up heath bars, then a layer of cool whip. Repeat once more. Top with grated bakers chocolate shavings.

Yum!

 

Edit: OR you could just look at Bailey's post haha! Great minds think alike!

The chocolate recipes posted above are both delicious!

 

If you're looking for something lighter/non chocolate, try pound cake, vanilla pudding, strawberries, and whipped cream (see if you can get the pink/strawberry kind).
