Creamy vanilla custard, cake slices soaked in Irish coffee and all build into a trifle, included even some whipped cream. This is a delicious dessert for every dinner party!
If you pamper yourself then do it right! And enjoy extra from it.
And you will definitely love this trifle, based on the Irish coffee you can get as a dessert in many restaurants.
The cake is soaked in a coffee / whiskey mixture which gives it a wonderful flavor. The creamy vanilla custard mixed with whipped cream, make this a decadent dessert.
