I did a little different but basically the same recipe.
Here goes...
I made a sponge cake and cut into fingers then layers of 3 (for me the ladyfingers in the recipe are too sweet)
if you didn't wish to make a sponge then you could buy one and do the same.
For me who has made trifles for years this was a hybrid trifle/cheesecake but it works wonderfully.
I did mine with passionfruit and pineapple instead of the cherries and I topped with mango, these are all in
season here at the moment.
I guess if you really wanted you could make small individual ones for something fancy. I was asked if I'd make
this recipe again, so for us it's a keeper.

Thanks for the ribbon. Glad you all like it. I made it again for christmas and all had it. They acturally left the pies and most of the 2 cakes I made alone.

Have a good day. No snow this weekend for me.
