CHRISTMAS TRIFLE

Serving: 4-10 people

Preparation time:  min

As always, this is my favourite time of the year; the decorations, the lights, the Christmas carols and most importantly reflecting on the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.  How the son of God was born in a manger and ultimately died for sinful people like us.

What better way to celebrate the birth of Christ than with a delicious dessert.  A trifle has layers of different textured desserts combined. Imagine crunchy, soft, smooth and fluffy in one bite; yummy!  Let us try this out this festive season.

Even with the difficulties we may havefaced this year, I wish you a Merry Christmas.

‘’For to us a child is born, to us a son isgiven, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be calledWonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace’’Isaiah 9:6
