I am still recovering from dental surgery.

My second in two weeks. Ouchie!!!

But, I have invited a sweet friend of mine to share one

of her amazing recipes with you while I am recovering.

I can’t wait for you to see it and I know you are 

going to love it and want to make it. 

Thanks, Susie for helping me out while I recover.  

♥♥♥♥♥

………………………

Hello Everyone,

It’s wonderful to be here with you.  And, thanks so much to Barb

for giving me the opportunity to guest post on The Everyday Home.

 It is such an honor.

In case you haven’t seen my blog, I’m Susie and I blog over at

The Chelsea Project where the good, the bad, and the ugly

about refreshing my 1990’s traditional home into a

2016 casual classic is shared….and sometimes laughed about…..

out loud.  There’s lots of building, furniture refinishing,

repurposing, and general fun.

 Once in a while, we talk quick and easy recipes.

It’d be an honor to see you there, too…..

But, first…..

Isn’t it great when you just show up in the right place

and at the right time?

Trifle is a dessert for all seasons | The Chelsea Project | www.thechelseaproject.com

A few weeks ago, I was shopping the sales in the baking isle at the

grocery store.  As I lingered in front of the cake mixes, I couldn’t

help but overhear a woman talking on the phone.  Trifle features cherries and pineapple | The Chelsea Project | www.thechelseaproject.com She was probably in her 50’s and in a complete panic about making

a coconut cake for her boyfriend’s son.  As we began to chat, she

readily confessed that she had never made a cake in her life.

Easy trifle layers in minutes | The Chelsea Project | www.thechelseaproject.comI know, I’m still trying to sort out that mindboggle.  

And, honestly, I even wondered if I was on candid camera.

But, alas, I surely was not.  This was 100% realzville.  

And, in that moment, it seemed that in some kind of bizarro

universe, I was all that stood between this woman holding it

together or completely derailing.

Huuum, yea.  Don’t ya just hate it when that happens?

There's nothing more lovely than a colorful trifle layered in a pretty bowl | The Chelsea Project | www.thechelseaproject.comWell, by and by, we came up with Plan A…..the coconut cake

of her dreams.  She. Just. Insisted.

And with Plan B…..a coconut trifle….just in case Plan A went

up in flames.  Let’s just say I. Insisted.

Chocolate cake is layered with cherry filling, pineapple, pudding, and whipped topping | The Chelsea Project | www.thechelseaproject.comAnyway, I share this story with you for a reason.

If you’re not a baker, take heart.  You don’t need to be.

Trifles are a non-baker’s best friend. 

Or, if you’re just super busy and need something quickly, take heart,

because quick is where a trifle lives.

Or, if you just want something yummy that happens to be

super easy, well then…..bless your heart …..and say hello to my little friend.

 

 Ya know, I never knew what happened to that sweet lady

and her quest to conquer coconut cake hill.  But, when I think

of her, I am encouraged, at least in my mind, that she somehow

made it.  After all, you’ve seen how easy this trifle recipe is and

heard the story of how we just happened to bump into each other

at just the right time.

I don’t believe in coincidences.

But, I do believe in trifles.

Trifle goes together in about 15 minutes | Chill & serve | The Chelsea Project | www.thechelseaproject.com

If you enjoyed this little dessert, I do hope you will share and pin.

Prep Time

Prep Time
20 min
Ingredients
  1. One cake from the bakery (angel food, vanilla pound, or chocolate pound)
  2. One package of vanilla instant pudding (5.1 oz)
  3. 3 cups of milk (whole or 2%)
  4. One can of cherry filling (21 oz)
  5. One can of crushed pineapple in heavy syrup (20 oz)
  6. One container of whipped topping (8 oz. extra creamy Cool Whip)
Instructions
  1. Wisk milk with pudding according to package directions and allow to set.
  2. Tear cake into bite-sized pieces. Depending on the size, may only need 1/2 of the cake.
  3. Layer 1/3 of the cake pieces, 1/3 of the pineapple (do not drain), 1/3 of the pudding, 1/3 of the cherry filling, and 1/3 of the whipped topping.
  4. Repeat these layers two more times.
  5. Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
  1. Skim milk can cause the pudding to become soupy.
  2. Angel food cake is lighter and less sweet. This is my family's favorite.
  3. Once assembled, the trifle will keep good overnight if in the refrigerator.
  4. Plan to use the entire trifle within a day or two.

      Arla yes there should be. My blog had some major issues a few months ago and had to be transferred over to a new server, so its possible that not everything transferred over. I will see if I can get it fixed. Thanks for letting me know.
