Freedom Friday Flashback - Laughter - Trifle recipe
When you think of laughter, you can imagine bellies jiggling with joy and that goes well with trifle. This is a real British traditional party recipe. It began with a fruit mousse made with thick cream, probably clotted cream.
Trifle consists of jiggly jelly (jello in the U.S.A) then custard, then cream and sprinkles (known as hundreds and thousands in the UK.) When I first came to the U.S.A I learned quickly that we describe aspects of everyday life quite differently. This caused so much laughter and a little frustration.
This colorful and fun recipe is a great potluck item to bring and can be modified easily to be completely vegetarian or even vegan. It’s very, fun and delicious. It will take time due to the setting of each layer, and it’s well worth it. This one is vegetarian as the jello is made with vegetarian jello and the gelatin isn’t made with animal product.
I like it better. Hope you do too….
