No, the ruin of many a Baptist pot-luck is the preacher’s trifle (aka the tipsy parson aka a tipsy trifle).

Summary instead of recipe. A trifle is chunks of cake mixed with custard. Sometimes the cake is soaked in a liquid. Sometimes pieces of stuff (fruit, candies, etc) are added. fwiw, a tiramisu is a type of trifle.

For the preacher’s trifle, the soaking liquid is whiskey or bourbon. Theoretically you only use an ounce. Some baptist cook’s shot-glasses can hold up to an entire bottle.

Heh. My MIL dumped her windowsill batch of brandied fruit when wife told her it really was fermenting to hooch.
