This is one of those oldies but goodies my mother has been making probably since I was two years old. It’s too classic to change the name.

Directions

Prepare Bottom Layer

Line the bottom of a baking pan or individual ramekins with half of the biscuits.

2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites with sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form.

3. In a small bowl, combine coffee and yolks.

4. Slowly add yolk mixture to the whites, and then slowly add in nondairy whipped topping.

5. Fold in chocolate and almonds, and then pour mixture over biscuits.

6. Top with a second layer of biscuits, and freeze until firm.

Notes: I use Hadar Jack and Jill tea biscuits.

Prepare Top Layer

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer (it will need to be cleaned between the preparation of each layer), beat egg whites with sugars on high speed until stiff peaks form.

2. Slowly add in yolks, one at a time.

3. Slowly add in nondairy whipped topping.

4. Pour mixture over cookies.

5. Freeze until firm.

6. Garnish with shaved chocolate or chopped nuts.

Whip Do you pour in the whip liquid- unwhipped ? While still beating or mixer on low?

yes, you would pour in the whip liquid, unwhipped. I would imagine that you would keep the mixture at low speed. From the picture, it doesn’t seem like the whipped cream is fully whipped.

Big Trifel Would this recipe work for a big trifel bowl? Would the recipe need to be doubled?
Thanks

It depends on the volume capacity of the bowl.

Biscuits Do the biscuits get crumbled or do you just put them down? I am asking because I can’t seem to see the biscuits in the picture.
Thank you.

I think the angle of the picture makes it hard to see. But they are peeking out there..
Considering they are round ramekins and biscuits are rectangle, I wouldn’t crush them, but would break them to fit bottom. The first layer covers it anyway and it will seep in.
