Decadence In A Bowl!!!! Merry X-Mass!

The day is about to dawn, and I am typing up a quick post for my blog that is starving for some well deserved attention!!   

It is finally Christmas !  Merry Christmas!!!!
                                           Just got back from our annual Christmas eve party.  At our house....the tree is all decked up, and gifts are neatly stowed under the well lit tree.   Soooooo thankful for everything......
            In our house, this particular festival is celebrated with utmost joy ...   why????  Well... the first and foremost being, you get gifts!!!  The second one being....all things sweet and sugary are served!!   Thirdly, my most favorite....is the whole house is decked up and is christmassy...in colors of red, gold and green!!!  it is the season to be jolly and to rejoice!!  

One small gift from me......I thought, in case if you are hard pressed for time, and you need to whip up something totally sweet and decadent to wow your guests....you must do this!!  I just served some 40 people this at the X-mass eve party to some mighty happy clucks and yummooos and requests for seconds and repeat requests to make some more the next time!! 

It is soooooo simple....you will surprise yourselves....I even wonder if I need to tell the recipe out!!  I shall as I have promised some of my friends that I would share this heavenly yet simple trifle pudding..... 
You will need some....
Fudge brownie... out of a pack, baked, cut into pieces, about 4 cups
Good quality vanilla ice cream  ... about 4-5 cups
Whipped topping .... about 2 cups
Strawberry preserves .. about 2 cups
Chocolate fudge topping .... about 1 cup
Cherries and mint leave for garnish
Now.....
Line a trifle or a glass bowl with a layer of fudge brownies.....

 Add 1 cup of ice cream and spread it to cover the entire surface of the brownie....

Add 1/4 cup of warmed strawberry preserves and spread it on top of the ice cream layer....

Add a squirt of (1/4 cup) of fudge topping and spread on top of the strawberry layer....

Now repeat this yummilicious layering three more times....
oopsies...forgot to take pictures at this stage!!!!  LOL!!!
Cover the top with the semi thawed cool whip, and decorate it with cherries and mint leaves, like so.....

Ahaaaaaa!!!  That looks christmassy to me!!!  Feel free to decorate as you like....with a dusting of cocoa, chocolate shavings, colored sugar crustals, holiday candies....list is endless!!  
I left it white and simple.....just like the fresh fluffy white stuff that we get in plenty here.......

My little Chipmunk tried making individual ones too....absolutely yummilicious!!!  

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES...........
