18TH CENTURY SCOTTISH WHIM WHAM - BRANDY AND SHERRY TRIFLE



18th Century Scottish Whim Wham - Brandy and Sherry Trifle image

This is a very simple recipe for a delicious and swiftly made trifle. It originates from the 18th century, when the word whim-wham was used to describe something light and fanciful. It is quite boozy, and you might want to take a break before driving!! You can add fresh fruit to this if you like - it is not traditional, but I like to add raspberries when they are in season.
