Nuts: Chopped nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pistachios can provide a delightful crunch to contrast with the soft layers of the trifle.

Caramel Drizzle: A drizzle of caramel sauce or any biscuit spread melted can add richness and sweetness to the trifle.

Crumbled Cookies: Crushed cookies or biscuits such as chocolate wafers, shortbread, or crackers can add a layer of texture and flavour.
