A trifle not to be trifled with / myLot

Rockingham, Australia

January 3, 2025 6:17pm CST

The photo shows the magnificent trifle that my sister-in-law made for our Christmas dinner. It was delicious. The glass bowl showed off the various layers nicely but there was way, way too much for four of us. The Swiss roll slices line the outside of the bowl and there are peaches inside that with different coloured jellies topped with thick custard, more jelly and slivered almonds. We took what wasn’t eaten to my niece’s next day and enjoyed another serving or two. There was twelve of us for Boxing Day but there was still plenty for all of us.

When you don't have a dish too often, then it does become very special.

Wow, that looks great. I think I gained five pounds just looking at the photo!

I've put on a good few pound over Christmas and New Year. And now we're taking a friend out for Chinese tomorrow for her birthday.

It does look really delicious. Trifles aren't that popular here for some reason..our loss! Maybe I should try making one sometime.

Pavlovas don't seem to get too many mentions here either.

You need a glass bowl with straight sides for the best results.

It looks delicious. I'm glad you could share it with your niece the following day. I'm glad you had a good Boxing Day.

I love clear glass bowls so you can see all that goes into making things. This doesn’t look very appetizing to me though but glad you enjoyed it. I think the jello is what turns me off to it.

You probably wouldn't like it if you don't like jello. We call it jelly and your jelly we call jam.
