I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Quarantine Coffee Trifle

Fancy desserts can be a challenge when you're trying to not go to the grocery store often because of Covid19 stay in place rules. But this one has pretty simple ingredients that you might just have in your pantry!
Ingredients:

 Coffee layer:
2 tbsps sugar
2 tbsps instant coffee
2 tbsps hot water

 Cocoa layer:
2 tbsps sugar
2 tbsps cocoa powder
2 tbsps hot water

 vanilla yogurt (or cool whip topping if you have it!)
lady finger biscuits (or cake cubes)

 For each of the coffee and cocoa layers blend the ingredients together than whip for about 4 minutes. The coffee layer will whip up light pretty quickly. The cocoa layer stays more saucy.
So, just start layering...

add some broken cookies or cake cubes to the bottom of a glass or bowl. Top with some cocoa sauce, then some whipped coffee and dollops of yogurt or cool whip (which would be awesome! But I had yogurt)
Continue layering until you use all the coffee and cocoa.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Serves 2
