How do you make trifle?

It's hubby's birthday today  and he loves trifle, so I am goong to make a small one.

I have jam roll cake, sliced peaches, custard, jelly and cream. Oh and some plonk.

What order do you layer the stuff in the bowl in?

I dont put plonk in mine, just use the juice from the tinned fruit, but thats hilarious chuk And I mean who cant do a whole heap of "taste tests" along the way making trifle, it's a process, the whole thing 🙂

Most of my family make trifle much the same as this recipe - pouring liquid jelly over the cake or biscuits and fruit and letting it set (Sprinkle your plonk over the cake if you like it).  I make my own custard - hate runny, gooey trifles,  then top the custard with a good layer of cream then more fruit.
