Christmas Trifle

A trifle is no trivial dessert, simple and easy as it is to assemble. The show-stopping impact of this British dessert is to present an array of colors and textures in a glass bowl that nicely shows off an irresistible assortment of dessert goodies. Use pound cake, pudding mix, whipped cream, fruit, chocolate pieces, and green and red sprinkles for a Christmas trifle.
