A trifle consists of both soft and crunchy layers put on top of each other in a glass or ceramic cup for serving. For this recipe you can switch things up for dietry requirements/preferences. The traditional English food trifle is a layered which contains custard, sponge fingers, sherry soaked cake, fruit, jam and whipped cream.
𝙄𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨
• 50g (2 oz) chocolate flavour Angel Delight
• 300ml (1/2 pt) semi-skimmed milk
• 200g (7 oz) brownies (you can make the brownies yourself or shop buy)
• 400g (2/3 pt) double cream
• 100g (4 oz) chocolate
𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙
1) In a bowl, prepare the Angel Delight pudding according to package instructions using the milk.
2) Whip the cream in another bowl until soft peaks form.
3) Crush the chocolate into small pieces and place in another bowl.
4) Crumble the brownies into a large bowl.
5) You are now ready to assemble the trifle. Ideally, you should use portion sized jars or containers.
6) Start layering the pudding by placing the brownies in the base, followed by a layer of chocolate pudding, and cream.
7) Repeat the process by adding as many layers as you can and top with chocolate when the container is full.
Just to note - Angel Delight is a well known brand for chocolate pudding but shops stock their own no name brand as well!
If you don’t have time to prepare your own brownies, you can also consider using cookies, sponge fingers, waffles, wafers etc. Whether it be chocolate or golden vanilla cookies, they’ll both taste great!
𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙩:
• Mascarpone – this would almost make your dish tiramisu-like. Just need a bit of coffee
• Cream Cheese – your dish would be like a cheesecake in a cup. Simply delicious!
• Crème Fraiche – with acidity, it will cut through the richness of the chocolate. Great with fruit
•Vanilla, caramel or chocolate pudding – just reuse the pudding if you are fan of the Angel Delight
• Fruit coulis – can use these to make your dish lighter, less intense on the calorie count.
• Caramel – rich, intense flavour that will add an extra something

hi there, long time listener first time caller. genuinely i love your blog sm, everything you say about hera brings me so much joy.
anyways, what’s eiffel’s favorite ice cream?
hi, thank you so much! that means a lot to me. ♡
eiffel's favorite ice cream... hm. once zach said eiffel's favorite ice cream would be cotton candy dippin dots, and i love that answer. other than that... i think he likes 1) sugar, and 2) novelty. eiffel's not a same flavor every time guy; he's mixing scoops of bright neon flavors favored by children and then covering them in toppings. he also likes coffee ice cream, of course, and he doesn't think you can go wrong with chocolate. even better, combine those, too. he likes ice cream sandwiches, and the deep fried ice cream you can get at fairs. as long as it isn't trying to be fancy or healthy, i don't think he'll turn it down.
... there's also a non-zero chance that cigarette candy put the possibility of cigarette ice cream in his brain. that guy's taste buds are broken. love him so much.

Day 8 of getting my sh!t together
So, it's already the 8th day. Today I let a little lose because I'm going on a restricted diet from tomorrow and trying to workout more. So, I woke up late and also ate pretty well.
I started writing in my gratitude journal after two months. Two months ago when I stopped writing in that journal, I was only whining and complaining. I was in a dark place and felt lost and hopeless. There weren't many things I could write about in my gratitude journal and I felt like the universe wasn't on my side. So, I stopped back then and promised to write once I feel better.
I feel better now and reached out for the journal. Am I magically healed? No. That's the thing with anxiety and depression. I felt like my depression relapsed and I felt su!c!dal. I held on my life even though I felt like it wasn't worth it.
I still feel broken but I also feel strong enough to pick up the broken pieces and put it back together. I am better today, I will be better tomorrow. One day at a time!
Anyways, the menu was so yummy today.
Breakfast was just coffee as usual.
Lunch:
Mushroom zucchini chicken in oyster sauce
Cucumber and lettuce with lime juice and pepper
Cooler
It's 42°C outside so we all need an internal coolant. Mom made this beverage by roasting raw mango also known as aam paanna.
Evening snack:
I got snacky in the evening so I snacked on some chocolate muesli with black coffee.
Dinner
Chapati and Okhra in yoghurt gravy
Here's my song recommendation for the day

Irate critics of The Sandman 2022: How dare they cast Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer Morningstar?!?!?! The Devil can't be played by a woman!!!!!!
Me, looking at all the medieval and early Renaissance illustrations that depict the serpent who tempts Eve with a woman's head:
A serpent with a woman's head lurks in the Tree of Knowledge above Adam and Eve. Chromolithograph after Masolino. Masolino, da Panicale, 1383-1440?
Michelangelo, Fall and Expulsion from Garden of Eden
Vienna Diptych or the Fall and Redemption of Man by Hugo van der Goes
Irate (and knowledgeable) critics of The Sandman 2022: That doesn't count, Satan wasn't popularly conflated with the serpent in the Garden of Eden until John Milton's Paradise Lost!!!!!!
Me: Oh. Yeah, you're right; fair enough.
Irate critics of The Sandman 2022: *bask in their righteousness*
Me: In which case, Lucifer should look like this:
William Blake, Satan in his Original Glory: ‘Thou wast Perfect till Iniquity was Found in Thee’ c. 1805
Me: I'd say Gwen fits the bill pretty nicely.
Irate critics of The Sandman 2022: Wait, that's not what we-
Me: And, what do you know? This version of Lucifer also doesn't have a penis!!!

@theprodigalgenius sure thing :))
once upon a time, Lil Kro-Kro was bored of his marriage, and got himself a side-chick Philyra (who was also his niece -- she was an oceanid)... now one day, Rhea happened to walk in on her husband and his lover in the act, and Kro got such a bad scare that instinctively he turned into a horse (normal reaction) and galloped away from the scene... but Philyra was not so lucky; Kro had such perfect timing with his transformation that, a couple of months later, Philyra gave birth to a son who was half-god, half-horse... but, you probably know Kronos' bastard son better as Chiron, the wisest of the centaurs and tutor of heroes :))))))))

The practice of relating to pleasurable food as a “cheat meal” or “cheat day” is associated with binge and restrict behavior. This is a very slippery slope to disordered relationships with food, and many eating disorders begin this way (although there are typically other contributing factors as well, like history of trauma and genetics).
So this is your friendly reminder that it’s OK to enjoy something delicious. It’s not “cheating,” “sinful” or a “guilty pleasure.” It’s just pleasure. That’s allowed. You don’t need to punish yourself with restriction afterwards. 💛
