In the busy days of fall, entertaining sometimes can be hard to find time for, especially making dessert. I like having the components for my super-easy white chocolate mousse to whip up (literally) to use in a variety of easy treats (cupcakes, cake fillings, frozen, etc). One of the new ideas I came up with were these fun and easy trifles You can get creative with what you have in the pantry. I came up with these 3, and they were a huge hit. Of course my daughter loved the S’more one. You can choose what you want for the cake/cookie layers and the flavors in between to skew these any which way you want, the mousse is super flexible. Have fun with it!
