Rose & Crown Sherry Trifle

[MrsToad]

Has anyone visiting Rose & Crown recently noticed if Sherry Trifle is back on the desert menu? This is one of DH's favorite deserts and it wasn't available last time we were there.

Thank you!

We were there on Wednesday evening and the only desserts I can recall were the apple crumble, the sticky toffee pudding, the guiness chocolate cake and a sampler of the three.

Last night dinner- no Sherry Trifle on the menu, but the Citrus Trifle (50th anniversary) is there.

Of course I'm still awaiting the return of the Lemon Posset (which was Walt's favorite dessert). No dice for me either.

And DH is still waiting for the return of his favorite, Raspberry Fool!

Citrus trifle? Sounds interesting...can you tell me which citrus fruits they used? Thanks!

I found an old Disney cookbook from 1986 and the RECIPE for the Rose and Crown Sherry Trifle is there. Would you like a copy?

The only citrus fruits I remember were oranges. It wasn't very tart. There were a couple pieces of the orange on top and the flavor throughout.
