Let's start with the trifle bowl. Who has one? No one I know. Well, my aunt does, she uses it as a fruit bowl. I hunted a bit a Goodwill - no luck. I did find a really old mixing bowl for an old style stand mixer that I bought for $3, the sides were as straight as they could get and it worked pretty well.
The trifle itself - I saw recipes that had pound cake, some had angel food, but none had brownies. I wanted yummy chocolate as the cake base. Thankfully Bronwyn is an excellent brownie maker. (Side note: when I use the voice recognition software on my phone - my phone hears Bronwyn as "Brown One.")
The cheese cake layer uses 1/3rd less fast cream cheese and light cool whip. This dish is practically diet food. Ok, depends on what diet you are on.
I brought this to our yearly get together with my mom's family. We call it Christmas - but honestly it's just a time to get together, play some games (if you want to) and be shocked at how big all the kids are getting.
