Hmm, I made this for a group and thought it came out real well. I actually did it twice for two different groups. It was easy to do and came out looking pretty much like the pictures. The video on the web site was really helpful.
I did use strawberries and the seedless strawberry jam.
All of my guests seemed to enjoy it, none was left. I am not sure how well it works to make it ahead of time. The cookies actually softened up pretty quick.
 
I agree about the ganache. There needed to be more. I also thought there needed to be more raspberry sauce. I also like Rae's idea of using mini nilla wafers. Breaking them was annoying, but you need the big ones for the garnish. I think it may not be necessary to break them. It was also better set up after being in the frig overnight.
 
I made it with the raspberry jam, and frozen STRAWBERRIES, and it turned out really YUMMY!!!
 
I too was wondering about this trifle... I am so glad some one posted it because it was a possiblity for this weekend and I am a little nervous! Thanks for posting!
 
Frankly, while the garnish with the nilla wafers looks attractive, I left that off. I just didn't find it necessary.

I thought that that was the easy part. I dumped them onto my cutting board and then used my crinkle cutter to "break them up". I didn't even attempt to break them by hand I would have gotten bored with it very easy.

I like this recipe(taste) but don't like making it.
