What is a Trifle?
The traditional trifle originated in England. Typically, a trifle consists of sponge cake soaked in a sweet liquor, layered with fruit and custard. Trifles are served in glass dishes so that the layers are visible through the side of the glass dish. Such a showy dessert, trifles are perfect for dinner guests or parties. Usually served cold, trifles are also great for warmer weather.
