This one was in the "Trifle Bowl Recipes" document...I haven't tried, it..


Christmas Trifle (Country Women Christmas)
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple
3 medium firm bananas, sliced
1 jar (10 ounces) red maraschino cherries
1 jar (6 ounces) green maraschino cherries
3-1/2 cups eggnog, chilled
2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 prepared angel food cake (8 inches), cut into 1-inch cubes
1 carton (16 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Dip bananas in juice; drain and discard juice. Set aside
pineapple, bananas, three red cherries and three green cherries. In a bowl, whisk the eggnog and pudding mixes for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Place half of the pudding in a 4-qt. serving or trifle bowl; layer with half of the bananas, pineapple, cherries, cake cubes and whipped topping. Repeat layers. Garnish with walnuts and reserved cherries.

Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with commercially prepared eggnog.

Yield: 16-20 servings.

That sounds good. Maybe you could add green food coloring to the pudding to make more colorful & festive??

Becky, I thought you didn't like white chocolate.

Becky, I thought you didn't like white chocolate.

No - Piper doesn't like white chocolate........I don't like white chocolate with raspberries. - only dark chocolate with raspberries.

For instance - I LOVE :love: the Festive Cranberry Crunch Bark!:thumbup: In fact, I have to make more for tomorrows show - we broke into my display of it after lunch today.....Rick and Micah love it too!:love:

At our cluster meeting this month we did one that was:

Red Velvet Cake cooked in the bar pan with chocolate chips mixed in for the base,

Next layer was cheesecake pudding mixed with cream cheese

Then a layer of chopped chocolates (I think they were the Nestle Treasurer - dark chocolate truffle ones)

Then a layer of Cool Whip

Repeat and sprinkle top with red and green Christmas sprinkles or drizzle chocolate on parchment paper, cool and place decoration on top...also tie a Christmas ribbon around your trifle bowl for decoration...

Another cute decorating idea was:

1. Take a pear and lay it sideways, slice a little bit off the rounded edge so it sits flat.

2. Remove stem, place a cherry in the end with a toothpick.

3. Slice a gingerroot in half (pick one appropriate for antlers).

4. Place cloves in for eyes.

...and you have a cute little reindeer...

I love all your great ideas.

I got the Pumpkin Trifle:thumbup: on here and used pound cake instead of the yellow cake, it went over BIG at my last 2 shows everyone thought it was very light and could eat this after Thanksgiving dinner. When they asked for the recipe I lead them to my PWS and then talked about the outlet etc...

So I am looking foward to seeing more great ideas to do for Christmas Trifles or any Christmas recipe you could share. Thank you all now and forever.
