Black Forest Trifle ~ Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is special, don't tell me it isn't. Remember there used to be a time when we all would have thought "when am I going to have a Valentine???", I had been there done that... Back then it was more of who is this Mr. Right that is gonna sweep me off my feet. Love did strike me :-) and now I am happy to be with the man of my life. You might call this oh newly married if being married for 2 yrs does fall into that title, we are still happy and thankful for being together. 


" Baby I love you and Happy Valentine's Day "

Although I had tons of recipes in mind. I was more focused on something that we both love and I narrowed down on this lovely dessert with is light and so easy to put together. We both love Balck forest cake and I have been longing to do it. But having an anniversary falling on the same month I wanted to keep a cake for later. I had lots of friends ask me "so what's special for Valentine's Day?" and here it is I whipped this dessert. When I was chit chatting with one of my bloggie friend Divya Prakash on what we were planning for V day it so happened that she also planned the same trifle and the same recipe infact. Now that came as a super sweet surprise :-)
