Christmas Trifle

Original Post:http://greedygirlcooks.blogspot.com/2014/11/christmas-trifle.html

Makes 8 desert shooters or 4 glasses

Ingredients:

Pastry cream

2 cups Milk

2 Eggs

2 tablespoon Cornstarch

1 tablespoon Vanilla bean paste/extract

1 teaspoon Almond extract

10 peeled green Grapes (seedless)

10 Maraschino cherries

3 slices Pineapple

1 Pear

2-4 Vanilla cupcakes

Greedy tips:

• The best thing to do is make these the night before they are served. Make sure to layer cake->pastry cream->fruits and repeat. The layer of pastry cream between the fruits and cake will prevent the fruit juices from making the cake soggy. And the pastry cream is very thick and holds well on its own especially cold.
• I prefer these in small single serve shooter glasses rather than a larger vessel.
