Now, getting back to our Spiced Rum Cranberry Trifle recipe, I’m using common ingredients found in our homes like cream, cake, cranberries and of course spiced rum to jazz it all up.

I did make the cranberry sauce at home but you can absolutely use store-bought or any leftover cranberry sauce that you might have.

Then I crumbled the cake, added some chopped pecans (optional), and spiced rum, and lightly mixed everything using a fork.

To make things a little fancier, I used champagne flutes to layer the trifle but go ahead and use any glass or bowl for the same.

Once everything was layered and the trifle was ready, I dolloped it with some extra whipped cream on top, dusted it with some white chocolate, and added a cranberry on top.

 I totally gulped down 2 glasses….just taste testing before I served 😉

Now, if you don’t drink or are avoiding liquor, you can still make the trifle with a splash of cranberry juice or just totally skip the rum.

I hope you get to enjoy this yummy treat soon…..Oh, I forgot, these would be FABULOUS for Date Nights too!
