Table of contents

Trifle bowls are often surprisingly reasonable, I bought a bunch at Target a year ago for under ten dollars. Gift a trifle and say “keep the bowl”. That’s nice.

Makes 16 servings

This recipe has several parts, and I like to infuse each step. It’s a big bowl of yum, and infusing the trifle in this fashion allows you to get a little something with each spoonful. Dig deep and often. Or, only infuse one part, that’s cool too.
