Bite Sized Trifles...


We love trifles here. 

They are one of our favourite desserts. 

Well mine and the husbands!!

Today I am sharing these fun bite size trifles:


A modern twist on an old favourite.



Sometimes you just need a small dainty pud after a huge Christmas lunch.

These tiny trifles add a delicious sweet finish that look stunning.
