Easy to make Desert (Valentines idea too!)


                                  Sweet Berry Trifle


     This is by far the easiest and most yummiest desert ever! A guy should honestly not have any problems making this what so ever. It does have alcohol in it so not intended for children, but you could always substitute it with something else! This would make a good valentines desert for your loved one as well :)

Ingredients:
  • frozen berry mix.
  • fresh berries.
  • whipped cream. (Nutriwhip)
  • Kahlua alcohol
  • sponge pastry or lady fingers.
  • maraschino cherry.
  • lemon (optional)


1) Get mixer and get the whipped cream ready, I prefer Nutriwhip as it tastes way better then the spray forms of the whipped cream.

2) You should defrost the frozen berries ahead of time so their soft and not frozen when eating the desert! So do that lol. It will be liquidy but you want that, don't get rid of any of that! mix fresh berries in (save some to top off the desert though), squeeze some fresh lemon it it if you'd like (totally optional).

3) get either the premade sponge pastry or lady fingers... grocery stores should sell both but get whichever your preference is. Sponge pastry will be soft or if you go with the lady fingers..it will have a little crunch to it.  In a bowl tear up the sponge cake or break the cookies, Then take the Kahlua alcohol and drizzle on.. it should soak into the pieces. (Don't add too much or it will become a great big soggy mess!)

4) You will need a tall glass cup, Milkshake glass? tall beer cup? anything tall and glass will do. Start layering up your desert! with layers of the lady fingers/ sponge cake, berry liquid mix, whipped cream... whichever order you choose is good.

5) When you get to the top of the cup, put a small amount of whipped cream nicely! and finish off the presentation with a yummy maraschino cherry!
