Mini Trifle Dishes!

[Linda in MO]

I bought these at Walmart the other day and I just thought they were so dang cute! They were $2.50 each and I bought 6. I think I'll have to go buy atleast 2 more. They were with the holiday tableware stuff, not with the dishes. I have some ideas for them, but anyone have any recipes or ideas I can use?

Hey! How did you do that, Terri? :D

[dgeevanson]

What about Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle? I have been wanting to try it because of all the positive reviews but it makes a huge amount! I might have to head on over to Walmart and make a half batch in those mini trifle cups. So cute! That recipe could be lightened a bit. Darla

that pumpkin gingerbread trifle is TO DIE for...and I am deffinatly going over to walmart to get those, they are sooo cute!

[Linda in MO]

I hope you guys can find these. They were brand new at my WM.

Darla, that looks kinda similar to a trifle I ate at a meeting last week. It was really good. They used spice cake and cool whip and a little more milk. I'd go w/ the whipped cream myself, though. :cool:

PUMPKIN TRIFLE

That looks good too. I already have purchased the gingerbread mix and vanilla pudding, so I'll try that one first but I'll keep this recipe too. I have to go with real whipped cream too. I don't like to eat Cool Whip . Darla

[patissac]

HOW CUTE?!!!!!!! I'm going to Wally Mart first thing tomorrow to get these, I have the big one. I have made PD's Pumpkin trifle but I wasn't impressed the pumpkin filling overpowered everything and I didn't like how the boxed gingerbread tasted, then again I had never made gingerbread till then. Maybe a spice cake mix would work too? I do want to try it out again though, maybe add another pkg of vanilla pudding or something...

Interesting to see that butterscotch pudding was used instead, I will have to try that!

[Terri_A]

Hey! How did you do that, Terri? :D

Hee hee hee....forum magic!

[MISSINDI]

Ohhhh, I need those! So cute, and they would be great for Cherries in the Snow. Guess I'll be stopping at Wal-Mart this week too. ;) Thanks for the heads up.

[Wendy w]

OMG! Linda these are adorable!

I wish/hope that these can be purchased online because I think that they would be the perfect gift for my sister who lives out of state.

how much are they at Walmart? King arthur flour has the same mini trifle dishes for $16.95.

I just checked these links and the ones from King arthur are available through amazon too. But if you go to king arthurs site they did do some updating of the site and it is a little easier to shop now. At least I think it is.

Linda said the ones she found at WalMart are $2.50 each.

[ADM]

I bought these at Walmart the other day and I just thought they were so dang cute!

How much do they hold? I got mine about 20 years ago, in a set along with the large trifle bowl. I loved them -- and still do. :) My small ones hold about 2 cups, and are little large for a normal dessert serving. Not filled, the serving gives the illusion of being skimpy. I've often used them as salad bowls, as well as for desserts.

[nanco]

I think I will buy stock in Walmart, with the recent increase in sales!

I just filled one to the brim w/water and it was almost 10 oz.

Wendy, looks like Bed, Bath, and Beyond sells them in a set of 4 for $9.99...

I think your are a better size.

[spudugan]

I too have NO reason to buy them but find I MUST have them today!!! I just Love this stuff. Thank you for the tip.

[SueK]

Last year I bought a trifle bowl from Amazon on a Friday deal and it came w/4 trifle dishes like the ones Linda just bought. I haven't used them yet, but this thread has inspired me to dig them out and make something in them soon!

[spudugan]

BB&B did have them. And with a purse full of coupons they came to $7.50 for box of 4. I might do a layered gelatin dessert. Show the colors up pretty. Can't wait to get them home.

I must go to BB&B -and fast. I was near there this morning, but didn't need anything - but that was before I saw this thread.

[schuh]

I'm curious to see what others make in them. I'm looking forward to using them!

An idea for the mini-trifles from Jello website:

Easy Banana Pudding Parfaits
Prep Time: 15 min
Total Time: 30 min
Makes: 4 servings, 1 parfait each

24 NILLA Wafers, divided
2 cups cold milk
1 pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Banana Cream Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
3/4 cup thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
1 medium banana, cut into 20 slices

CRUSH 20 of the wafers tor form coarse crumbs; set aside. Pour milk into medium bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. Gently stir in whipped topping.
LAYER half of the wafers crumbs and 8 of the banana slices evenly in four individual parfait glasses or individual dessert dishes; cover with half of the pudding mixture. Repeat layers, reserving 4 of the banana slices for garnish. Cover and refrigerate parfaits at least 15 min. or up to 4 hours before serving. Wrap reserved banana slices tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to use.
TOP each parfait with 1 each of the reserved wafers and banana slices just before serving.

And this one rated 5*'s:
http://i.timeinc.net/cooking/images/recipefinder2/cl_36664.2_m.jpg
Individual Tiramisu Trifles
These parfaitlike desserts can be assembled the day before the party and need no last-minute garnishes.

1 cup cold strong brewed coffee
3 tablespoons Marsala wine
1 (8-ounce) block 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (4 ounces) block-style fat-free cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
30 cakelike ladyfingers (2 1/2 [3-ounce] packages)
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa

Combine coffee and wine; set aside.
Place cheeses in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until well blended.

Cut each ladyfinger crosswise into 3 pieces. Arrange 5 ladyfinger pieces into each of 9 wineglasses or small bowls; drizzle each serving with about 1 tablespoon coffee mixture. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese mixture into each glass. Repeat layers once; sprinkle evenly with cocoa. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.

Yield: 9 servings (serving size: 1 trifle)

I am headed to WalMart today to get those cute little things.
Don't need them but I've got to have them.

Thanks for the post!

[IndyKF]

I haven't bought mine yet, but I've already been thinking about using them (what a dork I am). How about using them for serving dips or dipping sauces, or at the bar and fill with olives, lemon/lime slices, stir sticks, etc? They'd probably make some cute candle holders too. Fill the bottom with some colored glass stones and set a votive on top. It's our turn to host our weekly card game this weekend, so I NEED them for my table setting :p

[CEH]

Do we have a consensus on the Pumpkin Trifle receipes yet? They would be great for my bonfire party. Right flavor and easy but which to make?

[tea4one]

Linda said the ones she found at WalMart are $2.50 each.
Silly me, I read that too. I had to actually go back and look after reading your post. I'll have to go to Walmart now. I usually don't shop there either.

[IndyKF]

I restrained myself and only bought 4! My WalMart had them with their new holiday settings and also had them footed with red glass. They were cute, but I'm still in "fall" mode and I'm not thinking Christmas yet, so I stuck with the all clear glass. Can't wait to use them!

My mom made it last year for Thanksgiving and it was good.

[raka1214]

Alas Linda - I will have to live vicariously through you and your trifle dishes. My Walmart (sucky place anyway) didn't have them.

You could always order them online. There are plenty of places they can be found. I haven't went out and looked yet, but will by the end of this weekend.

[tea4one]

I think that parfaits would work nicely in these also. Maybe pumpkin parfaits?

[RebelsLGB]

man $7.50 at BB&B with the coupon is too good to pass up. I will be there this weekend, coupon in hand! I'm so happy I got sick and hadn't made it to walmart yet.

as for the pumpkin trifle - i make the one with vanilla pudding and think it is excellent. I make my own whipped cream for it though, as I too am not a fan a cool whip. I also sprinkle my top whipped cream layer with cinnamon.

ETA: I forgot that I have a BB&B giftcard, so these lovely dishes are now FREE for me. YAHOO!

[spudugan]

I haven't bought mine yet, but I've already been thinking about using them (what a dork I am).:p

LOL>>>>>You have alot of company in your "dorkhood"...i daydream about that kind of stuff all the time...and i don't even entertain! How crazy is that?..but i always think...."one day...when i have the time...and actually meet some people"....i can get lost in thinking about planning stuff...fun...yet probably a bit WEIRD i suppose :o oh well...

you're ideas are great...(and lucky you..you have a card party with people to use them for!!)..and then there's...put a floating candle in it with cranberries at each place setting (for the guests i don't know and don't have over); etch the outside with a monogram and fill with candy and give as a gift; stick some grissini sticks (those cute Italian crispy skinny long breadsticks) in them down the middle of a table for grabbing/munching and an interesting centerpiece; putting different yummy icecream candies and toppings for a pretty sundae bar; oh yea....i could go on..and on.. :eek: somebody stop me.

[Linda in MO]

Well, I went back and bought 2 more today. Jeez, we're a bunch of food geeks, aren't we?! :D


LOL>>>>>You have alot of company in your "dorkhood"...i daydream about that kind of stuff all the time...i can get lost in thinking about planning stuff...fun...yet probably a bit WEIRD i suppose :o oh well...
You're not alone. I do this all the time, too. I'm always planning elaborate parties in my head that never seem to materialize. :rolleyes:

[IndyKF]

oh yea....i could go on..and on.. :eek: somebody stop me.

NO! Keep going! Great ideas...love em all! My friends make fun of me (in a good way I guess!) for having rather elaborate (in their eyes) food and settings when we're at my house. Actually, nothing I do is that over the top, but I try to keep things fun and cute. :)

[WhitneyB]

Soooo lucky I ran across this thread! I just happen to be going to BB&B tomorrow and guess what I just added to my list! Eight for my sister, eight for me!! Thanks for telling us about these.

[Linda in MO]

I finally got to use these last weekend for my MIL's birthday...
I layered brownie chunks drizzled w/a little Baileys Irish Cream, whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and fresh raspberries. Yum!

[gabbyh]

I must go to BB&B -and fast. I was near there this morning, but didn't need anything - but that was before I saw this thread.

Just how I missed this thread I have no clue...but I'm off to BB&B with my $5 coupon that came yesterday...I KNEW I took today off for a reason :D
