      Hi BirdyBaker. I like all the options you included with this recipe. You inspired me to create something a little unique. I used milano cookies instead of cake because that is what I had on hand. I also used strawberries and blueberries, white chocolate jello pudding, and cool whip. I followed your directions on layering and my first trifle turned out really nice. Thanks for providing this basic recipe.

      So yummy. i made the black forest trifle for my Christmas dessert. i used leftover, frozen, homemade chocolate cake, soy pudding, and a coffee/amaretto syrup instead of the sherry. The raspberries definitely help cut down on the sweetness. To die for!

      Delicious! I did substitute lady fingers instead of cake, but I didn't care for them at all: next time I will definitely use a white cake. I used white chocolate pudding, white grape raspberry juice, and peaches with berries for the fruit.

      excellent basic trifle recipe. Great recipe to use when there are left over dry cakes/bars. It's easy to make since everything's ready-made. Just have to mix them all up. Since I had so much apples left over from Rosh Hashana, I cubed some of them and layered them with the left over banana bread and whipped cream/pudding. Excellent way to spice up dry leftovers! :D

      This is a great recipe and it's always the first to go at a party. I've made this both with store bought and home-made angel food cake. I omit the sherry and use fresh strawberries, raspberries and blackberries instead of frozen. The Bird's custard and real whipped cream make all the difference in the world. It's always a hit, especially at summer parties. Thanks, Birdy!

      This was a really nice dessert for brunch this morning. I scaled the recipe back a bit, since there were only 6 of us, and used 1/2 an angel food cake, 1 box of pudding, 1/2 container of cool whip, but still 2 lbs of fresh fruit (strawberries and blueberries). It was very light and refreshing, as well as super easy. Thanks for posting!

      I've used this recipe many times!! When made for adults, I use blackberry liquor for the liquid. If kids are enjoying, I make one with the liquor and the other with berry/or complimentary juice for the fruit used. This is a must have and must make recipe!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!

      Thanks for this! My gran was from England and ALWAYS made AWESOME trifle! She used stale Pound cake soaked with sherry. She also used Bird's Custard!, strawberries and REAL whipped cream! This is YUMMY! There are TONS of recipes out there for trifle, but NOTHING beats the ORIGINAL English version! Thanks again!
