8 decadent Christmas trifles to make this year

1.Mulled cider trifle

We’ve combined the festive flavours of mulled cider and cinnamon spice to create an incredible Christmas dessert, definitely worthy of seconds (or thirds).

2. Panettone, vin santo berries and zabaglione cream trifle

When it comes to the layer of fruit in a trifle, the boozier the better in our eyes! We’ve combined alcohol-infused berries, classic panettone and a creamy zabaglione (an Italian-style custard) in this unique Christmassy trifle recipe not to be missed.

3.Gingerbread and eggnog trifle

For a fiery festive kick, we’ve used ginger loaf cake in the sponge layer of this decadent dish . A few splashes of Advocaat have been added to the eggnog custard to make you feel like you’re eating Christmas in a bowl.

4.Caramelised clementine and almond trifle

This citrus trifle is a huge favourite each year among Delicious readers! Make our ultimate showstopper with soft sponge, caramelised clementines, thick custard, cream and an amaretto crunch. Trust us, it’ll be the crowning glory on your Christmas dinner table.

5.Espresso martini trifle 

What would you do if we told you that your favourite cocktail could become your favourite dessert this Christmas?  No cooking skills are required to make this easy dessert. Simply layer sponge fingers with a coffee and vodka-spiked mascarpone cream then pop in the fridge to chill until you’re ready to serve.

6.Fig and Marsala trifle

Try this trifle with a difference. Made with sponge cake, Marsala, figs, white chocolate and pomegranate – it’s an impressive festive party dessert recipe. Blow-torch the tops just before you serve for added flair!

7.Saffron-poached pear, madeira and ginger trifle

If you’re all berried-out this Christmas, opt for pears instead of classic fruit. Like all the best Christmas desserts, this trifle does require a bit of extra effort but trust us, it’s all worth it in the end.
