What is a Trifle?
A trifle is a traditional English dessert, typically made with layers of sponge cake soaked in juice or liqueur, creamy custard or pudding, fruit, and whipped cream. Served in a clear glass dish, the layers create a visual feast before the first bite is even taken. Over time, this dessert has evolved into endless variations—including this refreshing fruit-forward version that highlights fresh seasonal produce.
