They would also be amazing served on top of a dollop of Greek yoghurt, on pancakes and with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. It's worth making them for the beautiful aroma's they fill your kitchen with when they're roasting. Layers of chocolate cake, topped with cheesecake and vanilla roasted cherries.Īnd let me tell you, these vanilla roasted cherries are SO good. So, to change things up, because really I just can't help myself, I made Black Forest Cheesecake Trifles. While Christmas just isn't Christmas without making a batch of Nanna's tablet, this year I decided to make Black Forest Cheesecake Trifles in homage of Mum's Black Forest Cheesecake because fresh cherries are just wonderful at the moment. And when I was old enough to take on cooking responsibility I became famous for my chocolate truffles. Debbie, mum's sister, was famous for her trifle, Nanna for her Scottish tablet, and mum for her Black Forest Cheesecake. However there were certain dishes that were signature dishes. Who'd make the roast potatoes, salads and prawn cocktails and so on. It would be decided who would get the ham and who would cook the turkey. The women of the family would share the task of cooking, and all had certain dishes that they made each year. By the day we'd end up feeling sick, but we didn't care. And my brother and my cousins and I especially loved it because it was Christmas day it was the one day of the year we could indulge in sugar filled treats unchecked. Those Christmases were filled with food, and there was always more food than all of us could possibly eat, but that was part of the fun of the event. Sometimes some of my Mum's other brother and his family, who lived interstate, would fly back for the holidays, and sometimes my Nan's brother and his wife would visit too. There were my Grandparents, my family, my Mum's sister's family, and her brothers family in attendance at Christmas lunch. When I was growing up in Tasmania our family Christmases were big.
