Strawberry Meringue TrifleWe are in the middle of World Cup fever, I love soccer, I've always enjoyed watching the games. Often we invite friends to watch the games of Chile, other Latin countries or USA. For one of these parties I did this trifle for dessert: easy to make and very attractive, it also travels very well if you have to bring a dessert to another house.

It is important that the meringues are not in contact with the cream so doesn't?get wet and mushy.

    Such perfect little layers! I love the addition of the crushed meringue! Do they start to soften up since they are in little pieces right next to the berries or do you still get a little crunch surprise in the middle? Perfectly plated 🙂

      I made mine 6 hours in advance and it was crunchy. On the long run I'm sure some soften. Thanks for visiting.
