What is trifle?
A trifle is a layered dessert that has its origins in Great Britain . In this case, the delicious dessert is actually tastier than the reputation of "specialties" from the United Kingdom. It is served there for afternoon tea or as a dessert .Even though a classic trifle is made from at least three components, the name does not come from the number three. The term actually comes from English and means “little thing” .
The history of trifle goes back to the 17th century . At that time, however, it simply consisted of whipped cream with pureed fruit.
The classic has evolved over the centuries. Nowadays , it starts with a layer of sponge cake or crushed biscuits, then a cream and the top layer of fresh fruit. This means that everyone gets their money's worth and the sweet treat is absolutely independent of the season. Even in winter, it is an absolute delicacy with dried fruit and nuts .
The British traditionally serve their trifle in round glass bowls . For the trifle recipe, however, we decided against the classic version by filling the portions into glasses. This way, you can enchant your guests with just the sight of the delicious layers.
