Are you looking for more modern trifle ideas? How about these:

Firstly, Big Fruit Trifle: Celebrations Not Complete Without One. A trifle, anyone?

What does trifle mean then?

In English cooking, a trifle is a sweet dish made of custard, fruit, and a thin coating of sponge fingers soaked in sherry or another fortified wine. Whippet can be used to decorate it. It also tastes fantastic!

A trifle has to be one of my husband and I’s favourite desserts. Here, we adore them. So I’m sharing this incredible trifle from Rachel’s Organic again today. Trifles are a year-round staple recipe that are as timeless as they come.

Other than cake, fruit, custard, and cream, are there any other finer sweet treat combinations?

What about topping your trifle with some delicious Raspberry Bio Live Yogurt? Making this recipe is incredibly quick and simple. Fruit Trifle: Celebrations Not Complete Without One.

Home Made Trifle Sponges:

Secondly, another idea is to make your own sponges.

I made these trifle sponges yesterday ready for a trifle I was making. I like to buy shop-bought ones when I am in a hurry and make my own when I have more time. 

We love trifles, so it is good to mix them up a bit. I mostly make them up around Christmas, Easter and birthdays. Just like my Grandma use too. 

Trouble is they were so yummy, me and the children ended up eating most of them. I now have to make them up again! Ha!! No worries, they are quick and easy to make.

Thirdly, Iced Chocolate Tiramisu. 

Iced Chocolate Tiramisu anyone? This tiramisu uses the classic Italian Lady, or sponge fingers (sometimes labelled tiramisu fingers) available from good delis.

One of my favourite creamy desserts. How about you? So yummy.

They are soaked in a coffee and liqueur syrup and then layered with a rich mascarpone mousse.

There’s no churning or ice-cream making so the whole recipe is delicious yet incredibly easy. Iced Chocolate Tiramisu.
