Alcohol-free chocolate trifle
Hello again Lindsey. I always make Delia's Cheat's Chocolate Trifle over Christmas, but this year my daughter-in-law is expecting a baby (our first grandchild!) and is avoiding alcohol.
What would you suggest I use as a non-alcoholic substitute to soak the cherries?
Thank you - last query, I hope!
Regards.
