Chocolate Cocnut Triffle

Trifles are great because you can take simple ingredients like pudding and cookies and dress them up for a nice occasion. It is a great way to make dessert on a dime for a lot of people. I needed to bring dessert to a big family dinner and this is what I decided to make. There are countless ways that you can make trifles, this recipe just represents what I was able to make with stuff that I had on hand. See the recipe here.
