Strawberry Trifle

This pretty, colorful strawberry trifle is made with simple custard, whipped cream, and early fresh strawberries. Traditional trifles are flavored with sherry or brandy but this one is liquor-free: perfect for kids of all ages!

2 quarts fresh strawberries

1 teaspoon 2 tsp. sugar

1 1/2 to 2 layers leftover sponge cake pound cake or about 30 ladyfingers

1 cup About strawberry preserves

2 cups prepared vanilla pudding or custard

Whipped cream for garnish

  • Set aside 5 or 6 of the best looking strawberries. Hull and slice the remaining strawberries. Sprinkle with about a teaspoon or two of sugar and stir gently. Set aside to macerate for about 30 minutes so that the berries get juicy. If you have very sweet berries, use less sugar; tart berries, more sugar.
  • Slice the cake into pieces that will fit in the bottom of the trifle dish or glass bowl. The size and thickness will be determined by the kind of cake.
  • Arrange the slices of cake or ladyfingers in the bottom of a 2- to 3-quart trifle dish or pretty glass bowl. Straight-sided bowls are preferred.
  • Spread with a generous 1/2 cup of preserves and scatter half the sliced berries over the preserves.
  • Spoon the custard over the berries. Layer the rest of the cake over the custard.
  • Spread the cake with the remaining preserves and berries. Top with the remaining custard. Garnish with whipped cream.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 12 hours. Garnish with more dollops of whipped cream, if you wish, and decorate with whole strawberries.
