Number Of Ingredients 9

2 bags (12 ounces each) cranberries, fresh or frozen
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1 bar (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups heavy cream

  • Arrange 1/3 of cake in a 3-quart serving dish. Spoon 1/3 of compote over cake; spread to sides of dish. Dollop 1/3 of cream filling over compote; spread to sides of dish. Repeat twice, ending with cream filling. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours (or up to 1 day). Garnish with Candied Orange Zest, if desired.

I'm not sure why this recipe has so many positive reviews. I found it to be bland and uninspired.

This recipe is missing some important steps. It doesn't say how long to bake the cake or how to make the pudding.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my trifle didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The cake was a little dry and the pudding was too thick.

This trifle is a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed this trifle. The cranberries added just the right amount of tartness to balance out the sweetness of the cake and pudding.

I made this trifle for my family last weekend and it was a big success! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. The cake was moist and fluffy, the pudding was creamy and smooth, and the cranberries added a nice tartness. I will definitel
