![]() Even though I have a trifle bowl, and would definitely dish this up in a trifle bowl if I were bringing this to a holiday party, I think individual desserts are always fun, so if I were serving this trifle at a dinner party in my own home, I would serve it in small glass jars, like I’ve done here. This Black Forest Trifle has all the classic elements of a Black Forest Cake but I also added the new Greek Gods Chocolate Cherry Yogurt as one of the trifle layers for added flavor and texture. This trifle recipe is basically a “deconstructed” Black Forest Cake but still a dessert with all that “WOW” factor. It is perfect to freeze for yogurt pops and to use as a replacement for whipped cream, but this chocolate version is even more rich and indulgent! Perfect topping with some strawberries and chocolate chips for when that late-night chocolate craving hits! I’ve always added yogurt to a lot of my baked goods to keep my cakes and breads moist and flavorful, but I also like using yogurt in desserts in other ways as well. I am already a HUGE yogurt eater and if you look at the dessert section of this blog, I’m also obviously a HUGE chocolate lover too, so I knew I would LOVE this new line of yogurts! □ Today’s recipe, this Black Forest Trifle, is my latest “over the top” holiday dessert! I was inspired by the new line of chocolate yogurt from Greek Gods Yogurt to create this dessert. This Black Forest trifle uses chocolate-flavoured custard, layered with either chocolate cake or brownies (depending on your preference) and cherries all. Thus, my mind is constantly churning and brewing up all kinds of new desserts to wow my dinner guests. In fact, it is like my friends and family expect and look forward to these holidays JUST to see what desserts I show up with and to see if I can “out do myself” from the previous event. Part of this is because there are so many seasonal flavors and special holiday recipes, specifically desserts, that I love and so I try to make it all in these short months. Stir in cherries and bring to a boil over medium heat. In a medium saucepan whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, water and cornstarch. Since we attend or host so many events during this time of year, I am always trying to change up the recipes I make for the various dinner parties. Cut brownies into 1-inch cubes set aside. In the coming weeks we have Friendsgiving, my birthday, real Thanksgiving, a graduation, a whole slew of holiday parties including both of our family’s holiday parties, our own annual white elephant/ugly sweater party and then a few parties I plan for clients, and of course Christmas and New Year’s too. It’s now November and it doesn’t look like things are slowing down at all and I am not complaining! I absolutely LOVE this time of year, LOVE the hustle and bustle, and LOVE all the fun traditions and festivities. ![]() ![]() We have been busy, busy, busy and have been enjoying and indulging in all kinds of fun, food and seasonal festivities.
