“Winter Wonderland” – My Grandmother’s Delicious English Trifle
I thought I’d share my favourite Christmas dessert recipe with you – my grandmother’s English Trifle. As part of our holiday season tradition, we always had many traditional desserts at our festive home. The Christmas Cake that my mother would painstakingly bake and cover in brown paper bags months in advance, the Mincemeat Tarts and then of course the Plum Pudding with Custard. But…my all time favourite was always…and still is, my mom’s delicious English Trifle following my grandmother’s family recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, this is a taste of Christmas comfort & joy to me.
