Steps:
- Mix pudding/pie filling with milk and beat until its dissolved. Let stand a couple of minutes so it will stiffen a bit.

- Place some of the pudding mixture on top of wafers and carefully spread.
- Layer cake pieces on top of mixture followed by layer of strawberries.
- Repeat and if you have any pudding mixture left dollop on top of berries.
- Top with walnuts, optional.
Tips:
- For the perfect trifle, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If they're not in season, frozen strawberries can be thawed and used instead.
- If you don't have a trifle bowl, you can use a large glass bowl or even a clear plastic cup.
- To make the custard, use whole milk for a richer flavor. You can also use half-and-half or even heavy cream.
- Be sure to chill the custard completely before assembling the trifle. This will help it to set properly.
- When assembling the trifle, start with a layer of strawberries, then a layer of custard, and then a layer of cake. Repeat these layers until you reach the top of the bowl.
- For a special touch, decorate the top of the trifle with whipped cream, fresh berries, or chocolate shavings.
Conclusion:
Strawberry trifles are a delicious and easy dessert that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a beautiful and decadent dessert that will impress your guests.
