sherry trifle

Boozy British pudding

A sherry trifle is a layered British dessert of sponge cake soaked in sherry, fruit or jam, custard, and whipped cream.

The sherry distinguishes it from plain trifle and gives it a boozy richness.

Traditional at Christmas and special occasions: Gran always made sherry trifle for Boxing Day.
