*Warning, your trifle will not look like this!
Quick and easy trifle that won't win you any prizes at the local fair. You will need the following:
- Mini yellow jelly rolls. Buy about 4 packs of jelly rolls. They come in packages of 6. The local 7/11 carries these things 24/7. You can class this up by using the more exotic chocolate variety.
- About 4 packs of snack size yellow instant pudding cups. As mention above you can pick a flavour more daring.
- Large package of strawberries cut in slices.
- Jar of strawberry jam. Get the cheap kind that contains no real strawberries.
- Large tub of Cool Whip. I have to admit that I try to use homemade whip cream in this. Even I have my limits.
- Whatever liqueur you have on hand.
- Skor Bits or chocolate chips.
Once you have the ingredients you can assemble your masterpiece.
- Pick out a really pretty trifle bowl. It will help class up this dish.
- Cut the jelly rolls in order to make attractive pinwheels. You should be able to get about 5 per roll.
- Layer the bottom of your trifle bowl with the cut jelly rolls.
- Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of liqueur on the rolls. Try not to resort to Creme de Menthe.
- Put a layer of pudding about an inch thick on top of the rolls.
- Now a layer of melted and slightly cooled strawberry jam.
- Now for the sliced strawberries. Remember to save some for following layers!
- About an inch thick layer of Cool Whip or whip cream.
- Start all over again and repeat until you are just below the lip of your trifle bowl.
- Sprinkle Skor Bits or chocolate chips on top.
- Chill for a couple of hours and serve to your delighted guests.
It is handy to know that you can pretty much buy all of the ingredients at 7/11 anytime you need a dessert in a hurry.
