Instructions
-
Step 1: Prepare the Base (2 Days Before Serving)
Place a layer of pound cake cubes in the bottom of a large trifle dish. Slowly drizzle about ½ cup Muddy Paws over the cake, allowing it to absorb. The cake should be soaked but not soupy.
Spread ½ of the pistachio pudding evenly over the soaked cake.
-
Line sliced strawberries around the inside edge of the dish for presentation.
-
In a bowl, mix remaining strawberries with 2 tablespoons Amaretto and 2 tablespoons raspberry jam. Spoon the mixture into the center of the dish.
-
Add another layer of pound cake cubes.
-
Drizzle with ½ cup Muddy Paws.
-
Spoon small dollops of the remaining pistachio pudding over the cake.
-
Arrange banana slices around the sides of the dish.
-
Drizzle bananas with 2 tablespoons Amaretto.
-
Add an even layer of sliced kiwi over the bananas.
-
Toss chopped raspberries with ¼ cup Chambord. Spread evenly over the kiwi layer.
-
Top with remaining pound cake cubes.
-
Drizzle with remaining Muddy Paws and a final splash of Amaretto.
Chill & Rest
-
Cover tightly and refrigerate for 48 hours to allow flavors to meld.
-
Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
-
Spread whipped cream generously over the top of the trifle. Sprinkle with crumbled nuts.
-
Garnish with star fruit slices and whole raspberries.
Serving Notes
-
Serve chilled. Can be made in one large trifle dish or individual bowls or martini glasses. Pair with coffee or a small glass of Muddy Paws or Port.
