Time 1h10m

Yield 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 strips thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • Use a variety of fruits and nuts in your trifle. This will add color, flavor, and texture.
  • Be creative with your trifle decoration. You can use whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries.
