A traditional trifle recipe is a classic English dessert that’s been around for a long time. Trifles usually include pieces of cake, pieces of fruit, jello, custard, and cream. However, there are different ways to prepare it. This holiday trifle recipe includes the cake, jello and whipped cream, along with toffee pieces and a caramel sauce between the layers of cake and custard (or, in this case, pudding). It is such a pretty presentation! The great thing about trifle recipes is you can tweak them however you like. With this one, you could even up the festive appeal by using eggnog-flavoured whipped cream, or choosing green and red sprinkles which are in keeping with the Christmas theme.
