Peach - Amaretto Trifle image

My favourite trifle - so pretty in a cut-crystal trifle bowl. If you've never had this lovely English dessert before, you're in for a treat. Great way to use up stale poundcake too.

This trifle was a bit too boozy for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less amaretto next time.
