‘Friends’ Fans, Rejoice: HelloFresh Is Bringing Rachel’s Iconic Trifle To Your Holiday Table
“It’s a trifle. It’s got all of these layers. First, there’s a layer of ladyfingers, then a layer of jam, then custard, which I made from scratch. Raspberries, more ladyfingers, then beef sautéed with peas and onions, then a little more custard, then bananas and I put some whipped cream on top!”
These words have been etched into my millennial brain since I first watched the infamous Thanksgiving episode of Friends where Rachel makes a trifle. And now, in the spirit of the iconic sitcom’s 30th Anniversary, HelloFresh is giving fans a chance to recreate the trifle in their own homes! Could we be any more excited?!
The trifle itself is a mash-up of a traditional English trifle and a Shepherd’s pie — an error made flipping the pages of an old cookbook.
“At HelloFresh, we know our customers like to have fun in the kitchen and are big fans of the beloved sitcom FRIENDS,” said Kirsten Walpert, VP of Brand and Creative, HelloFresh US. “That’s why we’re excited to bring this memorable dish to life, which will help FRIENDS fans enjoy a unique and delicious cooking experience while celebrating with loved ones this holiday season.”
These trifle kits are available to purchase now on HelloFresh for $34.99. Customers will receive all the ingredients and step-by-step recipe cards to create two recipes – a Beef Shepherd’s Pie and a Classic English Trifle – along with a FRIENDS-themed apron and the one-of-a-kind trifle dish. The trifle dish features a center divider to serve the recipes side-by-side, allowing FRIENDS fans to channel either their inner Joey and bravely devour the two recipes together, or keep them separated (like Ross and Rachel “on a break”).
Keep your eyes out — I’m already prepared to receive mine in the mail and make it for our Foodbeast family. Cheers!
