All Part of the Job

February 13, 2011

Don’t forget to enter the latest giveaway!

One (minor) downfall to my new ‘foodie’ related job and to having my own cooking blog is that I eat ALL-THE-TIME. Now for me this really is not a problem. I love food and love to eat (and thoroughly enjoy myself when doing so). It is that when you eat the ‘variety’ of foods like I do and at the frequency that I do, this eating can cause the natural weight gain. Now fortunately since I started this food blog about 2 years ago my additional pounds have been only about 5 but they are extra pounds none the less. All that coupled with my major sweet tooth those unwanted few pounds are hard to loose. That is why I was so happy with my self when I came up with this light dessert concoction.

Airy angel food cake, naturally sweet strawberries, and a rich but light white chocolate mouse all come together for a delightfully satisfy light dessert.

Trifles are a very popular dessert (as seen and inspired from here and here and here). My version of a layered trifle dessert could be made in a large trifle bowl or punch bowl for a party or shower. But served in wine glasses like I did, make for perfect individual servings for you or to share with your honey on Valentine’s Day!

Oh and by the way Eric had no idea this was a ‘light’ dessert… All he thought was that it was ‘damn good’!
