TRIFLE

Treat Yourself. Be as creative as you like with this free-form dish!

This creative, free-form dessert calls for mostly leftovers with a few fresh ingredients. Use whatever leftovers you have on hand and, if you’re at your sweets consumption capacity, simply freeze any remaining ingredients (cake, cookies, chocolate, fruits) to use at a later date for a dessert in a pinch!

Make individual servings, or double the recipe to serve a family-style trifle.
