Its waters carve out the deep, overgrown gorge of Wutachschlucht. Titisee is one of the forest’s most scenic lakes, especially when frozen over in winter. The attractive and vibrant streets of Freiburg are a great base and there are many charming smaller villages dotted along the trails.

I don’t normally like cream, but its velvety smooth texture along with all the other components just make this dessert out of this world. The cherries cut through the sweetness of the custard and then there’s the rich element from the cake and then the cream. The combination of the chocolate, cake, cherries and cream is utterly divine.

Because glasses aren’t only for drinking out of. So, then I decided to make individual sized trifles in cute rounded glasses.

We’re just alcohol free in this house because OH is allergic and I am on a crazy amount of medication that would make me super ill if mixed with alcohol.
