    Made this trifle for a friends family get together and it was perfect! Considering my husband who is not really all for a dessert he thought it was delicious.

    Made this with fresh berries (strawverries, blueberries, rasberries & blackcurrants) for a dinner party - it was a winner! My guests found it so delicious that they helped themselves to a second serving, and told me that they wish I had made twice the quantity! Easy, simple and totally delicious.
