It’s dessert time, my friends! I’m jumping for joy over here because dessert is my favorite meal of the day. If it were the only meal of the day, I’d be an even happier camper. All the will power I have to not overindulge goes out the window when I come face to face with a sweet delight. So sad, yet so true!

Are you a sweets person? Or are savory foods more your thing?

“The Boys” in my house are the latter of the two. Give them a steak with blue cheese butter and they’re so content you can hear a pin drop during dinner time. Maybe it’s a boy thing…who knows!

When it comes to making desserts at home, I must admit I have a tiny bit of a crush on trifles. I personally think they are the perfect dessert for so many reasons. 

Here’s why:

  • The presentation is beautiful!
  • Trifle bowls hold a ton so they are easy to feed a crowd.
  • Most trifles can be made ahead of time so they are easy desserts to make for entertaining.
  • There is no need for cutting perfect slices like you would for a cake or pie. You simply throw a large serving spoon in the trifle bowl and let everyone go to town.

Trifles are absolutely the perfect dessert. Here’s are a few of my favorites: Banana Pudding Trifle, Heavenly Oreo Trifle, and Strawberry Orange Trifle. 

If you’ve never made a trifle before, this is a great one to start with. With just 3 ingredients, you can literally whip it up in ten minutes or less, minus the little bit of time it takes you to thaw your Cool Whip and chocolate-covered cream puffs.

I am all about making things easy so I use the frozen Cool Whip and cream puffs you find in the frozen food section of your grocery store. If you have an amazing recipe to make your own Cool Whip and cream puffs, be my guest and knock yourself out. I only have one request, though. Please let me know when you make it so I can stop by for a bite!

So what do I need to make this Easy 3 Ingredient Cream Puff Trifle?

1 large (16 oz.) container of Cool Whip (thawed), 2 (14.1 oz) containers of Belgian Mini Chocolate Dipped Cream Puffs (thawed), chocolate syrup

Begin by taking your chocolate syrup and swirling it around your trifle bowl. This is purely for decoration but I personally think it looks pretty and adds a little something special to your trifle. I just love how the chocolate syrup oozes down the side of the bowl. Feel free to swap out the chocolate syrup for caramel or strawberry syrup instead. You can even go really wild and use all three!

Next, using two forks, drop a chocolate-covered cream puff into the Cool Whip and completely cover it with the whipped topping. You’ll want it to look like so.

Drop the Cool Whip covered cream puff into the trifle bowl and move on to the next one. Add it to the bowl.

You’ll continue covering cream puffs with Cool Whip until all 60 of them have made their way into the trifle bowl. Yes, I said 60!

Cover your trifle and place it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it.

As I mentioned earlier, most trifles can be made ahead of time and this one is no exception. Make it the night before your next gathering or event and place the trifle in the fridge until it’s time to party. Don’t be surprised if it disappears instantly. It truly is that good!

I promise you from experience that people will be raving over this dessert and asking you for the recipe.  At that point, you’ll have two options. Option 1 is to give them the recipe and tell them how easy it was to make. Option 2 is to pretend how hard it was to make and keep the secret of this yummy dessert to yourself. I’ll leave the choice up to you. My lips are sealed either way!

This Easy 3 Ingredient Cream Puff Trifle is an ideal dessert to keep in your arsenal of recipes. It really gives you a big bang for your buck! Don’t forget to print this one off or save it on Pinterest to have handy when you’re looking for an amazing recipe that’s super simple to prepare. You won’t be disappointed!

    Tiffany–this looks amazing! And I LOVE cream puffs–and now I have something else to make with them! Like you–I love desserts and like the men in your house–mine also prefer a steak, too. So, that means more dessert for me! Great recipe–perfect for the lazy days of summer! Thank you!

      You and I can share this trifle together and let the men go out for a steak dinner! Dessert and a little bit of wine sounds like the perfect night activity.

Can you spot the pink in this photo?! It’s hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is one month from today. Starting tomorrow, my feed is going to be taken over by hearts, pink, and all things love. For today, I’m just giving you a little tease. I purposely took this picture with my back to my mantle because it’s about to get a Valentine’s Day update and I want it to be a surprise.🥰
.
Anyone else feeling the itch to decorate for The Day of Love?!?!❤️❤️❤️

“Memories at the lake last a lifetime”...i.e. Like when Zach recently went to put the cover on the boat and his phone fell out of his pocket into the water. Or when Patrick thought he was hitting the brake on his friend’s jet ski and it took off like a 🚀 causing chaos. Or when we almost sank our pontoon in the middle of the lake.🤣🤣🤣
.
Lake life is amazing but isn’t always perfect. Any funny bloopers you have of you or your family at the lake, beach, or even the pool? Our family can’t be the only ones...can we??!!🤔

You know how much I love you all, right?! Enough to embarrass the heck out of myself in a SPORTS BRA in my stories for you. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Many of you wanted a review and try-on of my recent Amazon workout purchase so that’s what I did for ya...very awkwardly.🤣
.
Head to my stories for my honest opinions along with all the details for the items I purchased. I also linked everything in @liketoknow.it so you can easily shop if you see something you fancy. The link is in my bio.🙌🏼

What’s your favorite day of the week? If I had to pick one I’d say it’s WEDNESDAY. Wednesdays in the Hernandez household are designated as family days...no ifs, ands, or buts about it.😉
.
With Patrick working crazy hours, Wednesdays are actually the only consistent day of the week for the three of us to be together.  We do our best to take advantage of it as much as we can! Sometimes we have big plans, but more often we just hang out doing errands together and maybe grab lunch or dinner at a restaurant. It’s most definitely more about the time spent for us than finding something epic to do each and every Wednesday.❤️
.
Today’s activities included hair cuts for the guys, a comic book run for Zach, lunch, a trip to Aldi’s, and some sunset lake portraits. The perfect day! Swipe if you want to see the “real” Hernandez clan acting like the crazy family we are during our lake portraits!🤪
.
If you don’t do so already, I encourage you to join me in being more intentional with spending time with your family. Pick a day or time that works for everyone and commit to you all just being together. I can assure you it will quickly become your favorite day of the week too!🥰

How often do you organize your purse? Better yet, how often do you switch your purse out?👛👛
.
⭐️Tip Tuesday: From someone who has way too many purses (that’s me 🙋🏽‍♀️), the best way I’ve found to easily switch out bags and stay organized throughout the process is to use “The Pouch Method”. 
.
I organize like items together that I keep in my purse and place them in a small pouch that fits back inside my purse. I have one for all my gift cards/coupons and then one for all my personal hygiene type items. Swipe to see.➡️
.
Not only does this method keep your purse organized, but it allows you to just take out the organized pouches and easily place them in your purse choice of the day! For more tips on organizing your purse, check out the link in my bio.👛
