A trifle is a dessert made from thick custard, fruit, sponge cake, fruit juice and whipped cream. These ingredients are arranged in layers in a transparent glass bowl or in a tall glass with the sponge cake forming the bottom layer. The alcoholic version is known as tipsy pudding. In original Tipsy Pudding the layer of cake is well soaked with sherry or rum or wine and served with a boiled custard poured over it. This dish got its name because it can make one slightly tipsy from the wine or sherry in it. The Non-alcoholic versions use fruit juices instead of the sherry or wine as some liquid need to be use to moisten the cake layers.
love this pudding!
