Bourbon Syrup Soaked Berry Trifle Recipe

Bourbon Syrup Soaked Berry Trifle Recipe.  I recently hosted a Girls Night Out Social Artworking Painting Party for a few of my friends.  

It was a fabulous time, you can read about it here.  

I shared some of the desserts I made on Instagram, and several people asked for the recipes.  I wanted something simple, but delicious, and something that wouldn’t be indulged in regularly.  This Bourbon Soaked Berry Trifle was absolutely perfect.  I used store bought pound cake from Sam’s Club, fresh berries from the grocery store, and homemade whipped cream, and homemade bourbon syrup.  I know, I said simple and homemade whipped cream and bourbon syrup…but I also said delicious and indulgent.  And these recipes are very simple!

Bourbon Syrup Recipe:

[yumprint-recipe id=’33’]Prepare your berries the night before by cleaning them and sprinkling with a little sugar and some water.  Place in the fridge over night.

To make the trifle, cut pound cake into 1/2-3/4 inch slices and lay on a flat surface.  I let mine dry out some, and then I brushed the syrup on each slice.  Allow to dry some before you move it.  

Once the cake has dried some, place a layer on the bottom a trifle bowl.  Add berries, pipe or scoop whipped cream on top.  And layer until the bowl is full.  Use a large piping tip and add frosting on top to make it pretty, and wow your guests!
