This creamy, dreamy trifle is heavenly. Very simple ingredients create an easy and amazing dessert. One taste and you're transported to a tropical island. The secret ingredient is the coconut cream pudding layer... it's the things dreams are made of. Toasting the coconut and macadamia nut enhances the flavors. Once the flavors mingle, they mimic a pina colada. This is equally as beautiful as it is good. It will be a show stopper ad a summer cookout or barbecue. We added extra whipped cream and cherry on top for a pretty presentation.
