The dark chocolate paired with cherries and condensed milk are a match made in heaven. That moment of bliss as their eyes close and the mmmm that follows. I can remember the face of every person that has tasted it for the first time. I suppose it takes me back to so many memories a lot like my apartment. It makes a magical appearance once a year, stays for a few days, all the while the flavour deepening into something truly extraordinary.
To be honest it just wouldn't be the same without it. Today I give you my grandmothers Black Forest trifle recipe which has been present at every Christmas celebration for as long as I can remember. I have celebrated many a Christmas whilst living here, have cooked for my tribe and shared my special family recipes. In between these walls I have made new friends and said goodbye to old, built a career in food while navigating the tiny kitchen and have lived here with my love and our beautiful Piglet my little family whom I cherish.įunny how I have become so attached to a house that I have made into a home, a safe haven. I have lived in this apartment with my best friend talking endlessly about life, our hopes, ambitions, dreams, and fears. It has been my home, a place that has hosted countless dinner parties, a place that holds many dear memories.
The lease on my apartment wasn't renewed this year, which means its time to move out and move on. A taste or a smell can take you right back to a moment.
