Growing up, my sister and I pulled together our allowances to buy every single DVD box set of Friends. We owned all the seasons and watched Monica, Chandler, Joey, Phoebe, Rachel and Ross on repeat (seriously, we must have seen each episode at least 30 times). While this TV show can be enjoyed any time of the year, it’s truly a must-watch during the holidays. After all, does any other show do Thanksgiving better than Friends? (That’s a rhetorical question, the only answer I’ll accept is no.)

Between the time when everyone got locked out of Monica and Rachel’s apartment while watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and dinner burnt to the throwback where Chandler lost a toe after Monica dropped a knife on his foot, it’s clear that this crew experiences a lot of misfortunes in the kitchen on this holiday. But the most notorious of all the Thanksgiving mishaps may just be Rachel’s trifle — two pages of a recipe got stuck together, leading her to layer ladyfingers, jam and custard with beef sautéed with peas and onions.

When I heard that HelloFresh had plans to release a limited edition version of Rachel’s trifle in honor of the show’s 30th anniversary — with the promise that it’d be more delicious than her (well, unconventional) version — I was in.

This limited-edition meal kit comes with everything needed to recreate the infamous Shepherd’s Pie meets English trifle recipe at home, but with one crucial twist. You’ll assemble everything in a glass trifle dish that has a built-in divider to keep the savory and sweet ingredients separate — so no, everyone you feed won’t have to find a place to hide their plates. The one catch: It’s only available to order November 4th through November 7th, and it will restock each day at 9 a.m.

For $34.99, you will receive a custom trifle dish, branded apron, plus all the ingredients and recipe cards required for you to pull off the dinner-and-dessert combo at home. Shipping is included, and no subscription is required, by the way. Curious if it’s worth it? Well, HelloFresh sent us a kit in advance to test out for ourselves — and I personally think it’s a fun purchase for any big Friends fan.

The ingredients all arrived in good shape (read: no expired ingredients or moldy produce). The included step-by-step instructions proved to be pretty easy and straightforward to follow. That said, cooking this meal ended up being a time-consuming task. I am fairly comfortable in the kitchen, and the whole recipe took me a couple of hours start-to-finish, between the chopping, sautéing, broiling and assembling a dessert trifle. Plus, the recipe requires you to dirty up a lot of dishes. At the end of the process, my sink had a dirty cutting board, knife, skillet, pot, masher, mixing bowl, whisk and a few rubber spatulas.

You do have to be ready to serve this right away because otherwise you can’t pop the trifle dish back into the oven to warm up the savory side without sacrificing the dessert, which is best at a cooler temp. The trifle dish is so fun, though, and really brings the point home that this is the trifle from that episode of Friends. (Though, technically, this version subs in a combo of celery, carrots and onions for the peas and onions in Rachel’s.)

Overall, the dish was comforting and satisfying — and arguably way better than what Rachel served everyone (meaning, it didn’t, as Ross said, taste like feet).

Even with the volume of dirty dishes and time demanded for cooking, I would say so. Besides, pop a few episodes of Friends on in the background and invite someone else in the kitchen with you to help cook (and wash dishes!) and you’ve got yourself a really fun evening. What’s not to like? Custard, good. Jam, good. Meat, good!
