I am good at Risk

The post film fest cottage weekend has come and gone, with great success. I rediscovered that cool mock trifle my mother makes, and mmm boy, that's good bison. Here's the recipe, if you can call it that:

A large bowl
Strawberries (2 quarts), washed, trimmed and halved
Plain digestive bisuits (about 1 package worth)
Nutriwhip (500 mls unwhipped)

Make this at least six hours before you intend to serve it, the night before is preferable. You need to use Nutriwhip because real whipped cream will separate if it sits that long.

Prep:
Put the bowl and beaters from the mixer in the freezer for 1/2 hour before whipping the nutriwhip. Use the time to clean and halve the strawberries. Whip the Nutriwhip. open the package of cookies.

Assembly:

Put a thin layer of Nutriwhip in the bottom of the bowl. Cover with a layer of cookies. Make sure to use broken cookie pieces to fill in all the nooks and crannies on every cookie layer. Put more Nutriwhip, about 1/4 of total. smush about 1/3 of the berries in a layer into the nutriwhip. cookie layer on top, then nutriwhip, then berries, then cookies, then nutriwhip, then remaining berries, then a final cookie layer and then the remaining nutriwhip. You can decorate the top with some extra whole strawberries, or some cocoa, or some cinnamon, or whatever. Chill, covered in the fridge. Serves many, and makes a fab bring with for parties.
