English Sherry Trifle image

This layered dessert is best presented in a clear glass bowl. It looks very elegant but is so easy to prepare. (An adopted recipe. I have not prepared this particular version, myself, but I do love trifle.)

I didn't have any sherry on hand, so I used white wine instead. It worked out just fine.
