Gingerbread Pear Trifle

I made all the components for a festive Gingerbread Pear Trifle ahead of time for a bookgroup meeting on Thursday, which was cancelled due to the weather (more on that in next post). Since it won't save until the rescheduled bookgroup meeting next week, my spouse and I are compelled to eat it. The dog even got a few licks.

 

Components are:

  • gingerbread
  • custard (very fun to make, when it suddenly comes together after 10 mins. of steady whisking over heat)
  • whipped cream (more whisking, but not over heat and only for 2-3 mins.)
  • cooked Bosc pears

 

It's very ginger-y.

 

Recipe here.

Wow - looks and sounds delicious.
Although you can tell where my head is - as I scanned the description what immediately jumped out at me was "more whiskey"

It was delicious and not hard to make. And yes, I'll be using more brandy (or whiskey if you like) next time I make it! Is there any food that's not improved by alcohol?
