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 Stella had a hard time standing still for this shot. They were so excited to make this dessert, and wanted to get started.
Stella 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!! Stella took the larger one home to a party, and they made a couple small ones they ate right away.
