There’s enough to do around the holidays. Worrying about making elaborate desserts doesn’t have to be one of them. This year feed the entire group with a festive trifle recipe. Traditionally a trifle is an English dessert made with sponge cake, cream, and fruit. However, the following recipes have some delicious twists and are super easy to make. Though not exactly the healthiest option on your menu, these trifle recipes win for best-looking dessert and are totally worth the holiday splurge. When baking cakes or brownies from scratch, we suggest using our Pro Digital Kitchen Scale to get optimal results. Measuring cups and spoons can leave a wide margin for error, whereas a kitchen scale gets your ingredients correct to the 0.05 ounce/1 gram. Your sponge cakes will be light and airy and your brownies will be moist and delicious. Another perk of using a food scale is all the ingredients can be measured in one bowl, thanks to the tare feature which allows you to zero out the previous ingredients.
