Cake Trifle
Last time I already described a trifle recipe and today’s recipe is almost the same. Only the sauce is different. I thought it was good to describe a variant since not everyone is familiar with the liquor advocaat. It is very well known in the Netherlands & Belgium, but I can imagine that it is less well known in America.
An alternative that everyone has at home is chocolate sauce. You can also make it yourself, but of course you can also just buy it in the store. This combination is the best for children, as advocaat also contains alcohol.
The cookies I use here are also known in the Netherlands & Belgium as bokkenpootjes. The translation for the cookies is:bucks feet cookies. If you have other cookies, you can use them. This way you can make the tastiest variant to your own taste!
