GRANDMA'S ENGLISH TRIFLE

Grandma's English Trifle image

This scrumptious trifle recipe is a family heirloom. My grandmother would make an enormous dish of it for Saturday night dinners when they often had guests. If there were leftovers, they'd eat that English trifle dessert every night that week until it was gone! -Ruth Verratti, Gasport, New York
