Sweet Potato Casserole Trifle
We’ve done sweet potato spoon bread and Japanese sweet potatoes with scallion butter, but not a sweet potato trifle yet. The traditionally Brit dessert with a kick could be considered "fusion" since it combines Union Jack with the American harvest. As long as we don’t start giving you sweet potato spotted dick and sweet potato bangers and mash, we think the combo is safe.
This recipe was created by Washington, D.C., chef Brendan Cox of Circle Bistro, who even adds an expected s’mores twist for a little campfire fun at the end. Also, on the topic of trifle—we were pretty impressed when this commenter 'fessed up on our "10 Steps to Getting a Thanksgiving Invitation," admitting that she tragically dropped her hazelnut torte (with hand-peeled hazelnuts even), and when it broke into “about 60 chunks,” presto-chango transformed it into a trifle but “told no one.” Good strategy. We like.
