Holiday Dessert Ideas: Cherry Cordial M&Ms in a Christmas Trifle
Christmas trifles are some of the most delectable holiday desserts any household can serve this season. Made with thick custard, fruit, sponge cake, and whipped cream, it’s hard to imagine anyone saying no to a plate of this treat. The best part about this dessert is that it can be served with any fruit imaginable! What’s more, you can even use candy like cherry cordial M&Ms!
When making trifles, most recipes have a layering pattern that starts with cake, fruit, and custard or a cream mixture. This is repeated until the container is full, and then topped off with a thin layer of sweetened whipped cream.
You can add variety to the layers as long as the same or complementing fruits are used. For instance, after the first layer of cherries, cherry cordial M&Ms can be used in lieu of fruits for the next layer. This will give the dessert an added crunch and the lavish taste of milk chocolate.
If you want to add a little more “oomph” to the final product, use chocolate pudding instead of custard in between layers to create a cordial cherry-flavored trifle! With a little imagination and kitchen creativity, you can create unique Christmas desserts that will definitely impress!
