BAGATELLE (FRENCH-CANADIAN TRIFLE)



Bagatelle (French-Canadian Trifle) image

The typical bagatelle in La Beauce is a child's delight of Jell-O, white cake, and strawberry jam. This grown-up version, with fresh fruit, custard (instead of Jell-O), and a drizzle of marsala was originally published in Saveur in 2000. It's wonderful to bring to a party; it's really easy and really pretty; and most of the time is chilling time.
