Nana’s Traditional English Trifle….
I first published my traditional English trifle post a good few years ago now but with the jubilee celebrations approaching, I thought I'd reshare it because my lovely Nana would have been over the moon with me sharing her with you all!I am planning to make it myself for the Jubilee celebrations so I'll update the photos when I do (if I remember)!My Nana used to pride herself on two things - her split pea soup and her trifles!

If ever you find yourself with any leftover Baileys Irish Cream then this is exactly the recipe you need!So, I've called this post 'What to do with leftover Baileys' but in our house, the bottle of Baileys is actually bought more to make this cake than to drink as it's been a family tradition for a good 10 years now and it's not Christmas unless we have this as dessert at least once!I've had a look through my photos over the years to see if I have some good ones but I really don't - mainly because this takes minutes to make so I always make it right before we eat it and it's always … [Read more...]
No Bake Gingerbread Fudge Recipe….
This recipe for no bake Gingerbread Fudge Recipe is just amazing! It's perfect for a sweet treat but makes a great homemade gift too!After the success of my peanut butter fudge a couple of weeks ago, I decided to use the random tin of condensed milk that I had left in the cupboard to experiment with a fudge recipe using my homemade apple pie spice mix. The spice mix is made using lovely warming spices so the natural choice for a fudge flavour that would bring out the warmth of the mix was ginger so I just went with it and it really did work!I bagged it up into my little sweet … [Read more...]
