Individual Strawberry Trifle image

I love trifles because everyone is so impressed with the way they look. This one is great for after a holiday dinner or for New Years Eve or to celebrate Tuesday. I really feel it is a festive dessert. This look very pretty in highball or cocktail glasses. I found it on Food Network.

This individual strawberry trifle was a delightful treat! The layers of cake, strawberries, and custard were perfect, and the trifle was not too sweet. I especially loved the crunch of the graham cracker crumbs. I will definitely be making this again
