Gimme, gimme, gimme…trifle!

In honour of today’s #FlybabyMovieParty (Mamma Mia), for today’s pudding we’re going a bit retro. Something we ate for dessert if we had guests (neighbours or aunties and uncles) when I was a young Abba fan over 30 years ago 🙂

You’ll need:

  • one packet of Bird’s Trifle
  • one glass bowl (this is essential, trifle just doesn’t taste right made in any other vessel)

Break the sponge biscuits and place in bowl.

Make up the jelly and pour over the sponge.

Leave to cool and enjoy the snow outside.

Next up, thick, yellow custard.

Whip up the ‘Dream Topping’. Oh how the retro taste of synthetic cream stirs up the memories! 🙂

Layer it all up: jelly, custard, Dream Topping, chocolate vermicelli – or sprinkles, as they call them over the pond 😉 Chill until ready. Enjoy the squelchy sound as you dish out large portions 😉

Bon appétit and happy singalong to “Mamma Mia” Saturday! 🙂

What’s a Flybaby Movie Party? We pick a movie – this time round it’s Mamma Mia – and watch it ‘together’ around the globe and ‘chat’ via http://www.blogtalkradio.com/

Want to join in the fun? Here’s how… Find a copy of the film (DVD, Netflix etc). Note to flybabies: go and hunt down a copy RIGHT NOW! Do NOT wait until two hours before we start the party! 😉 Then log in to the BlogTalk chat on the day. I will be sending out a link and plenty of reminders… Insert film into TV or computer. Start the film. Chat, relax, enjoy! And remember your favourite beverage and popcorn! 😉

The very first film we watched was Thoroughly Modern Millie [nudge, nudge, wink, wink] and you can read all about it on my post Raaaspberries! 😉 We’ve since watched “The Princess Bride”, “Grease” and “Dirty Dancing”. This time we’re getting ready for a singalong. Are you ready to join us?

Have a Mammagnificent Monday! 🙂
