Easy Black Forest Trifle image

Although there are several Black Forest Trifle recipes already on 'Zaar, none are exactly like this one. This one uses dark sweet cherries. It is a very yummy trifle and really easy to make. It needs to be created in a glass bowl so the pretty layers will show up. I use a punch bowl as I do not have a trifle bowl.
