The BEST Trifle Recipes!

I love a good Trifle recipe and have put together this collection of the BEST Trifle recipes!

Trifles really are the perfect dessert for a few reasons:

• You can make them a couple of days in advance,
• They can be easily modified to suit your taste AND also the number of people you are catering for,
• Trifles are a perfect summer dessert as they do not require any baking!

What do you need to make a Trifle?

The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have selected the right size bowl/dish for your Trifle – you don’t want to run out of space! My favourite bowl to use when making Trifle is a 4 litre (like the one pictured) however you can use a bowl approximately 3 litres in capacity.

Basic Trifle Recipe Ingredients

• Cake – either plain, jam filled or even chocolate
• Custard
• Fruit

Once you have gathered your ingredients, it’s then simply a matter of adding them to your Trifle bowl – too easy!

In this collection I’ve included my favourite easy Trifle recipe along with some delicious variations including this Chocolate Brownie Trifle and Pavlova Trifle – enjoy!
