Easy Lemon Cookie Trifle Recipe

Making food for my family that they will love brings me great joy. I love to create new and exciting recipes or a make a twist on a family favourite. From hosting dinner parties to holiday meals they are all so fun. Having a houseful of friends/family enjoying great food warms my heart. As a kid family gatherings have included a variety of special desserts. From a tower of cream puffs to traditional Christmas pudding we’ve enjoyed a variety of desserts. While I love rich desserts my favourites are fruit based or desserts that aren’t too heavy. I love crisps, and trifles especially after a big holiday meal. And, they make great desserts to take to a potluck.

When I was challenged by President’s Choice to make a twist on a holiday recipe using the new products form the Holiday Insider’s Collection I needed to decide what part of a holiday meal I’d like to do a ‘makeover’ of. While I thought about creating a new unique way to cook a turkey I settled on everyone’s favourite part of the meal – dessert!

While I don’t have my grandmother’s trifle recipe I remember the flavours it encompassed and what I wanted the key ingredients to be. Thus was born our Easy Lemon Cookie Trifle Recipe.
