This scrumptious trifle recipe is a family heirloom. My grandmother would make an enormous dish of it for Saturday night dinners when they often had guests. If there were leftovers, they'd eat that English trifle dessert every night that week until it was gone! &mdash;Ruth Verratti, Gasport, New York

I was thinking, if you can find it, Birds custard might be better than vanilla pudding. Cost Plus World Market sells it. But, it sounds good. I will have to acquire a trifle bowl.

Abealka there is no cream cheese in ingredients because this recipe does not use cream cheese.I loved this recipe especially cool for summer.If you don’t have a trifle bowl you can use a glass mixing bowl not as pretty but useable.

Nothing like an ''English'' trifle.  English trifle is made using a thin base of vanilla sponge soaked in the juice of a can of pears mixed with a glass of sherry, jam spread on top, a layer of sliced canned pears, a layer of custard and a layer of whipped double cream sprinkled with toasted almonds and studded with glace cherries.
