Fruit Trifle Recipe
Whipped cream, velvety custard and sweet fruits soaked into spongy cake make up this classic, delicious dessert.
Trifle is a simple, no cook, no bake dessert that can really wow your family and friends if you set it up all nice and pretty.
This is one of those desserts that doesn't really have a set- in- stone recipe. I think trifle embraces any fruit you want to put in it. I like to add a mix of fresh and canned fruits and do not like to add bananas or citrus fruit.
I like to use Ambrosia Devon Custard. I know, it's not homemade but I like its goopy, smooth texture in this trifle.
My husband loves trifle so over the years I have played around with several recipes and finally perfected one that he loves.

Tips and Bits
Sometimes I make this in individual ramekins.
Get creative with the combination of ingredients. You can use flavored cakes, jello, nuts, chocolate and different fruits.
If you are using homemade custard keep it thick. If the custard is not thick it will become watery with the syrup from the fruit.
