Tiramisu Trifle With Ginger and White Chocolate

"This heavenly dessert looks pretty in a trifle bowl. If you don’t have one, simply use a deep glass bowl where the layers can be seen. We don’t drink coffee at home, but when I make this dessert, I simply drop by the local barrista and pick up a small expresso. Pick up a store bought angel cake for easy prep. For a hostess gift, take a chilled Tiramisu in a pretty trifle dish for giving. This is a great dessert for holiday parties and buffet tables."

Reviews

  1. I was not fond of this, my Dh and son gave it a 3 so I went with their rating. For me the cream cheese mixture was too heavy. I had to cut up the angel food cake to make it fit in my trifle bowl but other than that followed the directions exactly. I was left with nearly 1/2 cup of coffee mixture. The ginger and nutmeg didn't work for us. It was not as sweet as we would have liked and just not what I was hoping for.
