My trifle recipe is very simple to make and everyone loves it.
Ingredients:
Meringues
1 instant vanilla pudding mix (I use Boca-Doce)
1 instant chocolate mousse mix (I use Alsa)
1 packet of whipping cream (250 ml)
1 lemon/vanilla tart
Liqueur (I use Beirão - a portuguese sweet liqeur)
Fresh fruit - strawberries or wild berries
Preparation:
I make instant vanilla pudding and let it cool.
I make chocolate mousse, also from a packet (I use Alsa) and set it aside.
Then, in a tall bowl, I place thin slices of cake (it can be store-bought, but it must be spongy) around the sides and bottom and drizzle with Beirão liqueur.
I fill part of the bowl with vanilla pudding.
I place the fruit on top and then fill with more thin slices of cake, which I sprinkle with liqueur again.
Then I add the mousse, pour in the rest of the pudding, crumble the meringues coarsely on top, and finish by adding the whipped cream on top.
Finally, I decorate with 3 whole meringues and whatever I have in the pantry, either chocolate shavings or cocoa powder.
I hope you like it.

Ingredientes:
Merengues
1 mistura instantânea para pudim de baunilha (eu uso Boca-Doce)
1 mistura instantânea para mousse de chocolate (eu uso Alsa)
1 pacote de natas para bater (250 ml)
1 tarte de limão/baunilha
Licor (eu uso Beirão)
Fruta fresca - morangos ou frutos silvestres
Preparação:
Faço um pudim instantâneo de baunilha e deixo arrefecer.
Faço uma mousse de chocolate, também de pacote (eu uso Alsa) e reservo.
Depois, numa taça alta, coloco fatias finas de bolo (pode ser de compra, mas deve ser esponjoso), à volta das laterais e no fundo e rego com licor Beirão.
Encho parte da taça com pudim de baunilha.
Coloco a fruta por cima e, em seguida, encho com mais fatias finas de bolo, que salpiquei novamente com licor.
Depois, adiciono a mousse, deito o resto do pudim e esfarelo os merengues grosseiramente por cima e terminei por colocar o chantilly por cima.
Por fim, decoro com 3 merengues inteiros e o que tenho na dispensa, ou raspas de chocolate ou cacau em pó.
Espero que gostem.
Trifle - my style
My trifle recipe is very simple to make and everyone loves it.
The first persimmons picked from the tree and immediately “devoured.”
For me, one of the greatest joys, and on days of inspiration, is to use a new recipe taken from the internet, or one of the recipes passed down from mother to daughter. Other times, they are quickly “scribbled” in a notebook during long sessions watching 24 Kittchen—I never get tired of it, especially when it's with Jamie Oliver, Annabel Langbein, Nigella Lawson, Nigel Slater, or Mary Berry. There are few greater pleasures, than picking fruit and vegetables straight from the garden to cook and eat with the family, under the porch when the weather permits, or in the comfort of the kitchen with the kids, sisters, and boyfriends.At this time of year, my vegetable garden will start to show some improvement thanks to certain changes I have made to the vegetables, fruit and flower garden.The fruit trees have been freed from low-hanging fruit, which damages the branches and takes strength away from other fruits, so that they can ripen with more strength, color, and sweetness.
My Halloween recipe - Pumkin soup
It's not Halloween yet, but fall has already begun, and although the weather in Portugal is still warm—today, on the last day of September, it's 26 degrees Celsius with blue skies and sunshine—but the weather changes are already noticeable.
Today's movie proposal: She said maybe, from Netflix
Today I'm going to tell you about the latest film that has had an impact on me in some way.Right now, I'm on a Turkish kick: I want to learn a few Turkish words and, as I shared in my last blog post, I want to try lots of Turkish recipes, especially desserts.I've already made Baklava, but it needs some improvement.. Dolma, grape leaves stuffed with meat and rice, is another thing I'm eager to try and share with you.Today I'm going to talk about my last favorite romantic comedy: Netflix movie “She Said Maybe!”For now, it portrays the connection between many young people of Turkish origin living in Germany, and this connection will take a young couple to their parents' homeland, Turkey.From the beginning, I was captivated by the vibrant colors and stunning landscapes, something you expect in romantic comedies and that keeps you glued to the screen so you don't miss a single scene.Then, of course, there is the story of the roots of a wealthy family from Istanbul, with all its glamour, parties, and luxurious hotels, and the central plot: losing the love of your life for a million-dollar inheritance. Is it “worth all the money in the world”? Why did I write this sentence? If you want to know the reason, you'll have to watch the movie, because I can't tell you everything, right?
