Trifle
Trifle is an English dessert dish made with fruit, a thin layer of sponge fingers, or sponge cake, soaked in sherry or another fortified wine, and custard. It can be topped with whipped cream. The fruit and sponge layers are suspended in fruit-flavoured jelly and these ingredients are usually arranged to produce three or four layers.
