3. Add the Cream
Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the cake, smoothing it gently.
4. Add Fruit
Top the cream with a colorful selection of fresh fruit. Arrange them beautifully to create visual appeal.
5. Repeat Layers
Depending on the depth of your dish, repeat the layers—cake, cream, fruit—until you reach the top.
6. Finish with Fruit
End with a vibrant fruit layer and a small dollop of cream. For extra flair, sprinkle with nuts, chocolate shavings, or edible flowers.
7. Chill Before Serving
Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips for a Stunning Trifle
- Use a clear glass bowl to show off the colorful layers.
- Choose seasonal fruit for the best flavor and freshness.
- Keep cake cubes slightly firm so they don’t get too soggy.
- Make ahead: Trifles taste even better after chilling, but add delicate fruit like bananas just before serving.
Variations to Try
- Tropical Trifle: Pineapple, mango, and passion fruit.
- Berry Delight: Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
- Chocolate Lover’s Trifle: Add chocolate pudding or cocoa-dusted cake layers.
- Mini Trifles: Serve in individual glasses for parties or brunch.
