What is a trifle?

A trifle is originally a French dessert coming from the French word for truffle! A true trifle is made with egg custard over cake and topped with whipped cream. This is basically a delicious, Americanized version of the real thing!

Can you make a trifle ahead of time?

Yes! Absolutely. That is one of the very best things about this dessert. You could even make it a day in advance and just keep it in the fridge until it’s ready to serve.

What is the difference between a trifle and a parfait?

A trifle and a parfait are very similar in concept. They are both basically layers of pudding or yogurt, chocolate, fruit with cake, cookie or brownie pieces.

I could not resist taking that spoon and digging it straight into this brownie deliciousness.
