Hawaiian Trifle with Edible Flowers is an easy & impressive dessert.
We always enjoy making fun recipes. In this case it’s a fun, and pretty recipe. Creating the Hawaiian Trifle with Edible Flowers, we knew with all the right ingredients, it was going to be delicious.
Now that we knew Josie was going to be making this trifle with Brody, I had to get to work to create the perfect dessert. We got it, a Hawaiian Trifle with Edible Flowers! Now the fun begins, recipe development with Brody. He usually gets very creative, and wants to add random ingredients. It’s actually pretty funny. Putting the ingredients together for this one wasn’t that difficult, just all things Hawaiian. We narrowed it down to the ingredients we used which we were quite happy with.
Brody and Josie were having so much fun. I would say she’s a natural in front of the camera. Also, she had some skills in the kitchen, and learned some new ones that she was very excited about. For instance, she learned how to use a mixer and make whipped cream. That’s a good one!

Hawaiian Trifle with Edible Flowers
This is still one of my favorite videos that we’ve made, and we had so much fun. The kids were so intrigued and excited to eat edible flowers. There was a very slim variety for the edibles. I had a vision of lots of different flowers, and of course Hibiscus. We couldn’t find Hibiscus at any store, so we ended up with tulips and roses which did work out perfectly. There’s such a fun variety of them, and can be used in sweet and savory dishes.
Brody and Josie had a hard time standing still for this shot. They were so excited to make this dessert, and wanted to get started.
Josie is super focused since this is the first time she made whipped cream, and took her job very seriously I love to see these kids learn something new, and enjoy it. What a treat!
They insisted I cut the pineapple and not use a can when we made this. To save time you can definitely use a can pineapple, but it tastes so much better and sweeter when it’s fresh cut.
They were layering the ingredients, and adding the pretty edible flowers throughout making the trifle. This really made the look of the dessert.
Look at those faces having such a great time. Top it off with a little more cream, macadamia nuts, toasted coconut, and more edible flowers to the top. There you have it an incredible dessert.
Yummy and looks beautiful The kids did a great job!! Josie took the larger one home to a party, and they made a couple small ones they ate right away.
