Notes
-
Ladyfinger Substitutes: Pound cake, sponge cake, or angel food cake can be used if ladyfingers aren't available. Just cube them into bite-sized pieces.
-
Make Ahead: This trifle can be made up to 24 hours in advance. The texture improves as it chills, making it great for prepping the night before a party.
-
Berry Swaps: Raspberries or blackberries can be used in place of or alongside the strawberries and blueberries.
-
Presentation Tip: Use a clear trifle dish or glass bowl to show off the layers. For a festive look, reserve a few perfect berries for the top.
-
Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge, covered, for up to 2–3 days.
