When it comes to holiday confections to impress, nothing can beat the gorgeous presentation of a beautifully layered trifle! This collection of 12 Holiday Trifles has a flavour combination for every dessert lover – from chocolate overload to vanilla simplicity and everything in between!
At the end of September, I shared the first recipe in my first annual holiday dessert series of 2024. That series was called Lord Byron’s 12 Holiday Trifles Series. It was a holiday series much like the many I have shared over the past few years. I published one recipe each day for 12 consecutive days, and just like when each series ends, I’m placing all of the recipes from that series into one post.
I do this because it’s easy to miss a recipe, especially when there are 12 of them day after day. Not everyone has time to check out a recipe every day. And, not everyone who reads my recipes has subscribed to my blog. Lastly, rather than having you search for each of the recipes, it’s easier just to scroll down one page and see them all at once.
On the backend, I’ve done all the work for you. As soon as you see a picture of a bar or square that you like, just click on the green highlighted box that says “CHECK OUT THE RECIPE.” A new window will open in your browser so that you don’t lose your place on this page. No searching, no downloading, each and every recipe is just a click away. Let’s get to it!
12 HOLIDAY TRIFLES
There you go, Dear Reader! Lord Byron’s 12 Holiday Trifles Series is all on one page for you to peruse and drool over! I trust you will be able to find a recipe or two from this list that fits into your holiday baking time and schedule.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN PREPARING TRIFLES
First of all, there are no steadfast rules about how many layers you should or shouldn’t have. My rule of thumb is this – make the trifle big enough to feed your family and/or guests, and use a bowl that is big enough to accommodate the layers. If you have a larger trifle bowl, you can simply add another layer or add more berries or cake to fill it up. Likewise, if your bowl is too small, you can make mini trifles with the leftover ingredients in stemmed dessert bowls.
Trifles cannot be prepared days in advance, nor can they be frozen. Since most trifle recipes are assembly-type recipes, the best thing to do is to prepare them on the day you plan to eat them. However, with that said, every trifle in this series can be prepared a day in advance. If you prepare the trifle a day in advance, it’s a good idea to set the garnish aside and place it onto the trifle just before serving. That way, your trifle will look like it was just freshly prepared.
