Trifle

Directions

1. 1
   {"0":"Basic Instructions:","1":"Prepare cake according to directions on package. Let cool completely.","4":"Prepare custard or pudding mix according to package instructions. Let cool completely.","6":"Mix fruit with sherry. If you don\\'t want to use alcohol, use a little water or juice instead. You want the fruit to be sitting, but not swimming, in a bit of sweetened juice. Some people like to really soak the cake in the alcohol, then add the fruit on top. I think this can tend to make the cake too soggy, so I prefer less.","8":"Whip the cream.","10":"To Assemble:","11":"Trifle is very forgiving, it takes no effort to make andA it looks great! If you don\\'t have a trifle bowl, like the one in the photo, use any large glass bowl. It doesn\\'t technically have to be glass, but it looks prettier if it is. You can also make individual servings by placing the layers in large wine goblets.","13":"Cut the cakes into large chunks and cover the bottom of your dish with a layer of cake. Top with a layer of prepared fruit, then a layer of custard. Repeat the process until you are out of ingredients or the bowl is full. Top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh fruit. Chill until serving time.","16":"To Serve:","17":"Simply scoop out servings with a large spoon."}
