I love trifles because everyone is so impressed with the way they look. This one is great for after a holiday dinner or for New Years Eve or to celebrate Tuesday. I really feel it is a festive dessert. This look very pretty in highball or cocktail glasses. Ingredients:
1 quart fresh strawberries, halved |
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar |
3 cups heavy cream |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 (1 lb) poundcake |
1/3 cup amaretto liqueur |
6 amaretti cookies, for garnish |
demerara sugar (to garnish) |

1. Place strawberries in a bowl and toss with vinegar.
