Notes

  • Tips
  • Prepare all the separate components of a trifle before assembling.
  • Individual trifles served in glasses are a fun way of serving this dessert.
  • There are no set rules to making trifle. Use your own preferences to make something delicious that you will enjoy.
  • I have a beautiful trifle bowl with a stand that I LOVE to serve this trifle in, because it sits up high on the table for everyone to see. It showcases the trifle beautifully! Occasionally I will use my glass salad bowl and it works just fine.
