Christmas Trifle Recipes: Beyond the Pumpkin Trifle

[[email protected]]

I need a Christmas Trifle for a show. Does anyone have one other than the pumpkin trifle?

Use white or chocolate cake, add a bit of frosting coloring* (green or red, or both seperately) to whipped topping and whip it up. Crush some peppermint candies or candy canes and sprinkle the crushed pieces between each layer and on the top. It's basically just glorified cake but it's yummy.
Layer cake, whipped topping, and peppermint. If you like a bit of peppermint, add some extract to the cake (but not too much.)

*frosting coloring is a bit stiffer than food coloring. It's easier to use because sometimes food coloring can make whipped topping grainy or compromise the 'fluffiness' but frosting coloring doesn't. I usually see it made by Wilton in round tubes, but there may be a store brand.

I love the Black Forest Trifle for the winter season.

Got this from another thread...

Andes Trifle:

You can either use the Andes Peppermint chips or the Dementh Green/chocolate chip mints from Andes (I have found in Baking section at Dollar General and at Walmart.)
4 cups milk
2 small boxes of white Chocolate instant pudding/pie filling
2 8 oz containers of regular Cool whip
1 box of Dark Chocolate Brownie mix. Prepare in stone. On Large bar pan bake 22 min. On med. 30 min. Let completely cool. Then using $1.25 paring knife cut into small cubes.
Fill up your easy accent decorator with coolwhip. Mix 2 boxes of pudding with 4 cups cold milk. After whisking till thickens add your 1 1/2 containers of coolwhip. In Trifle bowl Layer first Half of your Brownie cubes, then pudding, then Andes chips. Then repeat. Top with coolwhip dollops and accent with Andes Peppermint. I also demoed grating with the cheese grater or Microplaner one and dusted the top.
