Dear all,
Today, armed with a carton of whipped cream, I undertook a secret mission given to me by Darren's lovely mum, Joyce. Joyce had sent me one of Darren's favorite recipes, Tipsy Pudding, to surprise him with one day... So today, I did just that!
Joyce promised me it was an easy recipe but I have heard that trifle is not to be trifled with.. so I took great care to getting all the correct ingredients together and following the recipe properly.
TIPSY PUDDING 2 cups eggnog 3 1/4 oz, instant vanilla pudding 3/4 cup milk 1 container cool whip (or whipped cream) Angel food cake or sponge cake (can use bought one) 1/2 c sherry or juice Raspberries, peaches, kiwi (frozen raspberries, drained canned peaches or any fruit you fancy) |
Egg Nog is one of Darren's favorite things and luckily it is starting to creep into the supermarkets ready for the festive season.
I mixed up the vanilla pudding, egg nog and whipped cream and got out the sponge cake 'that I had prepared early' *domestic goddess points*. I started to layer the cake into a large glass bowl dousing it in a handy bottle of Remy Martin.
I then sprinkle a generous layer of forest fruits and poured in half the creamy goodness. Things were going well!
I started layering again and this time used fresh pear as my fruit ( mainly because I had run out of forest fruits.. but actually it turned out really well!).
I poured on the last of the creamy mixture, whipped up more cream to decorate and sprinkled on some dark chocolate buttons. It was a total success and Darren couldn't believe it when he got in and took it upon himself to try the trifle immediately. He loved it, hurray! His only complaint was that it is a HUGE amount of trifle for two people... oh well, I am sure we will manage!
