My mum and my grandma both whip up a mean trifle, but since they’re both out of town at the moment, I can’t ask them for the recipe.

So I figure that someone around here knows the recipe for the ultimate trifle…

Just a couple of things - we’re heading into winter in these parts, so anything that will rely on fresh summer fruits such as berries is out (canned or frozen is OK).

I would prefer non alcoholic, but provide your recipe anyway - I can always substitute fruit juice for the alcohol of your choice…

I’ve made that one - it _is_ fantastic=) Just make sure to use castor sugar as it dissolves faster and easier=)
