Blue Ribbon Recipe

Peach & raspberries are a flavor marriage made in heaven! This dessert isn't only beautiful, it tastes out of this world. A fluffy whipped cream layer has a slight raspberry flavor. The raspberry mixture soaks into the yummy ladyfingers and peaches. The alcohol is not cooked out, but there isn't a harsh alcohol flavor. Guests will think it took hours to prepare. No need for them to know how easy it is to make.

Step 9

Begin assembling the trifle using 1 layer of ladyfingers.
Step 10

Top this with the raspberry mixture to cover cake.

Add the sliced peaches on top of the raspberry mixture.

Next spread 1/3 of the bowl of whipped cream over the peaches.
Step 13

Repeat the layers of cake, raspberries, peaches and filling two more times until bowl is full.
