This trifle was a disaster! The mousse was too runny, and the layers didn't set properly. I ended up throwing it away.

This trifle was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less sugar.

I'm not a big fan of Bailey's, but I still enjoyed this trifle. The chocolate mousse and mint flavor were really good.

This trifle was a hit at our St. Patrick's Day party! The combination of chocolate, Bailey's, and mint was perfect, and the presentation was beautiful. I will definitely be making this again next year.
