Lucky Leaf wanted me to try out one of their Valentine’s Day inspired recipes. I decided to try their Layers of Love Cherry-Choco Trifle. I didn’t have all the right ingredients so I substituted a few things. We used my cherry pie filling to make slow cooker cherry crisp last week. So I substituted strawberry instead of cherry. I also only had red cake so I used that instead of chocolate and didn’t have chocolate pudding so I used cheesecake pudding.
They also have a few other recipes for a special treat for Valentine’s Day. You can see videos on their Facebook page.
This recipe turned out to be a big hit! I took the girls in my family to see Disney on Ice tonight and when I got home the entire Trifle was GONE! I saw the empty bowl and asked my husband if the rest was put away in a smaller bowl. Nope, it was all eaten. Craziness!
I need to do a giveaway but don’t want to close up this post, so I will be doing a separate post next with my giveaway and more about Lucky Leaf’s Valentine’s day recipes.

Gone? I know we left a bunch from coffee that morning. It was yummy!
Tell me about it! I was SHOCKED!
This looks SO good!
Looks so good! A really good V-day dessert.
SO SO SO tasty!
Well, it certainly does look beautiful! Glad it was a hit.
That looks delicious! Just pinned it!!
Oh my, that sounds so good- and I love your variation of it. I can’t wait to try it (it even sounds like something I could do!)!
This looks delicious, my husband isn’t a big fruit eater though so I would try to make it on a smaller scale.
