Delight in the exquisite fusion of flavors with our Apple Trifle featuring Bourbon Whipped Cream. A symphony of sweetness awaits in this delectable dessert.
I’m a sucker for Buzz Feed quizzes.
Please tell me I’m not the only one?
If you haven’t heard of Buzz Feed or taken one of their quizzes, I highly suggest checking it out. I mean, don’t you want to know which Goonies character you are most like? Or know which super hero best matches your personality? Geez….do I sound like a Buzz Feed pusher? There’s also a Mean Girls quiz that’s quite epic. Just saying.
Anyways, one of the quizzes I took recently was “which country do you actually belong in.” For some reason I was a little nervous about the answer. Why? I dunno. Sometimes I feel like Buzz Feed is a giant crystal ball that whispers life’s secrets to us. Clearly I need to get out more. But! The answer to which country do I actually belong in was, New Zealand!
I do have a minor obsession with that country. Or, is it a minor obsession with Sookie from True Blood? Mr. B and I almost traveled there a couple of years ago, but ended up investing in a restaurant instead. Someday we plan to visit because clearly Buzz Feed is telling us too.
But until we book our flights, I am going to have to settle on tasting New Zealand from afar. One of their produces that I am particularly fancying at the moment are their Envy apples. These bright red apples with a crisp interior are available in the g-store now until the end of October. Envy apples are sweet in flavor and are ideal for fruit plates, salads, and desserts.
Oh, and speaking of dessert, can we please talk about this apple trifle with bourbon whipped cream and caramel drizzle? Think apples tossed in butter, caramelized then layered between moist white cake cubes, drizzled with caramel and topped with a fluffy bourbon whipped cream. One or two bites of this apple trifle and you’ll be purchasing your tickets to New Zealand.
