This past Easter we went to my parent's house for dinner. My mom was taking care of dinner and asked me to bring dessert. Dessert with my family is challenging because my father doesn't eat peanut butter and my brother doesn't like cake. My parents got me a trifle bowl (which I had asked for!) last Christmas and I don't get to use it very often. The Weekend Chef actually found this recipe which sounded delicious.
The days before Easter were super busy. We had just gotten home from visiting my sister in Maryland on Friday, when we went grocery shopping. Saturday we had an Easter party and then we went to my husband's aunt's house to celebrate Passover. We woke up Sunday and our kids got their Easter presents and went egg hunting. While I showered my husband started this. While he showered I finished it so it could chill in the fridge while we went to mass. Then we got home, I made the cookies (in tomorrow's post) and then we went to my parent's.
Somehow this dessert was made in time for us to make it to Church in time to get a seat! While it did take a little time and was done tag team style, it was still pretty easy. And it was delicious! Everyone loved it and it will definitely be filed in the need to make again soon folder!
