  Note: You can use a regular plate. But if you want to dress it up by serving in individual trifle bowls, or you can use a Champagne coupe aka saucer or martini glass. For a dressed up casual thing you could serve it in a wide mouth 1/2 pint canning jar. Just be sure and refrigerate it or keep it cold.
