English Trifle has always been a favorite dessert of mine. I remember requesting it as a kid and bringing it to school as a treat. It is easy to make and just makes me happy.
The basic ingredients include: cake, pudding or custard, jell-o, and fruit. I love my trifle bowl, we got for our wedding, and it gives me yet another incentive to make the dessert. I just use what fruit I have and layer all the goodness in the tall, glass bowl. Make it early in the day, so it has a chance t o set-up a bit and chill thoroughly.
Here is my basic recipe for
English Trifle
2 large packages pudding, prepared according to package.
I like "cook and serve" better, but instant works just fine. Typically I use vanilla, but I have used lemon as well.
2 large jell-o, any flavor, prepared according to recipe, but don't let set-up.
4-5 cups fruit, fresh or frozen.
Strawberries, peaches, raspberries and blueberries are great choices. Bananas are good too, but get mushy after the first day.
1 angel food cake.
I layer cake, jell-o before it has set, pudding, fruit and repeat 2-3 times. You can top with whipped cream, but I usually don't. Let it chill for a few hours so the jell-o sets up.
Enjoy!

I cherish a deep and abiding love for trifle of every shape and size.
Having experienced your trifle, I am quite excited for the recipe, thanks! But it makes me think of Hurricane and miss my house and my neighbor :)
If you take requests, I would LOVE to read a post on your polynesian dishes (which I cannot begin to spell)I think it was some sort of shredded pork and those rolls with the sweet sauce drizzled over the top...I dream about those!
