Notes
You can also do mini trifles. Just layer the ingredients in small individual trifle dishes, wine glasses, martini glasses, small juice glasses, small glass canning jars, or even clear plastic cups. Then, everybody gets their own dessert! What fun!

Are there nuts sprinkled around the top? There are none listed in the ingredients.
Hi Kathy. Nope no nuts in this recipe but you could use them on top if you like. Those are just chopped mint pieces on top. Thanks! -Amy
