Buon San Valentino Everyone! .
I am so glad that Valentine's Day is finally here in this cold winter that we're having! Such a sweet little holiday to break up the monotony of this time of year! This week the "I Heart Cooking Clubs" challenged us to prepare a romantic recipe from Nigella Lawson's collection. So I chose her Anglo-Italian Trifle that is seductively red with the juice of berries, sweetened with Italian Marscapone cheese, Amaretto cookies, and then spiked with some Italian Limoncello. Now that ought to get someone's attention!

This trifle is decadent and rich. I'd recommend making a few adjustments if you are like us and like desserts more on the sweet side. First of all I would add alot more sugar to the 'custard'. I also recommend decreasing the amount of Limoncello because it makes the custard somewhat bitter (or else just add more sugar and taste as you go). You'll find that this is a very special dessert, stunning in presentation, and all around yummy! This lemony, almondy, cream-swathed berry delight lends well to a perfect ending for a romantic dinner with your sweetheart or your friends! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
