Ann-Louise’s Individual Pear-Ginger-Mint Trifle Recipe
I used vanilla pound cake from Walmart cut in cubes. Layer of crushed gingersnaps. Then thin vanilla pudding (thinned with either milk or pear juice), I used both because I had to make 2 batches of pudding. After beating the whipping cream to a good froth added mint flavoring (not peppermint this time). Layered whipped cream, topped with toasted pecans, mint leaf and maraschino cherry.
A few were made with pumpkin cream cheese or butterscotch pecan loaf cake instead of the vanilla.
