Mrs. JS makes trifle a couple times a year, when we're either having or being guests. It's of English origin. First had it at teatime at the Queen Victoria b & b in Cape May.
Big glass bowl w vanilla custard, bottomed and topped w lady finger cakes (maybe doused w liqueur), freshly whipped cream, colorful mix of blueberries, strawberries and raspberries on top.
Spectacular and scrumptious.
Favorite cookie is peanut butter. Love hot fudge sundaes w vanilla ice cream and wet walnuts. Love all kinds of fruit pies, but single favorite pie is probably coconut custard.
