You're Just A Can Of Cinnamon Rolls Away From A Tasty Breakfast Trifle - Tasting Table

"Trifles are very easy to make and are quite versatile. All you need to make them is some sort of cakey layer and toppings. A Black Forest-inspired trifle, for one, is perfect for chocolate, cherry, and kirsch enthusiasts, while a traditional British trifle made with sliced vanilla cake, raspberries, and sherry is perfect for a special (and booze-worthy) occasion. However, you aren't just relegated to turning your trifle into a dessert."

"Start by baking your canned cinnamon rolls according to the directions on the package. Once the rolls are sufficiently cooled, it's time to assemble your dessert. Alternate between layers of cubed cinnamon rolls and your mix-ins of choice. A thick, maple-sweetened custard would give your dessert French toast vibes, while layers of sticky, cinnamon-spiced pecans would really highlight the spicy undertones of the cinnamon rolls."

"Although there are no real rules for what can and can't go into your trifle, there are some important things you should keep in mind when assembling it ahead of your gathering. For one, trifle is not a treat that can sit around for long; the rolls will get soggy and mushy, especially if you're adding wet ingredients like compote, berries, or whipped cream. As such, you'll want to prepare only the portion you plan to eat or serve;"

Trifles are versatile, easy-to-make layered desserts that require a cakey layer and toppings. Variations include Black Forest-style chocolate, cherry, and kirsch combinations and traditional British trifles with sliced vanilla cake, raspberries, and sherry. Trifles can be adapted for brunch by using store-bought cinnamon rolls as the cakey layer. Bake and cool the cinnamon rolls, cube them, and alternate layers with mix-ins such as maple-sweetened custard for French-toast flavors or sticky cinnamon-spiced pecans to emphasize cinnamon undertones. Trifles do not hold well for long; wet ingredients cause rolls to become soggy. Prepare only the portion you plan to serve, and assemble additional portions later.
