ANGEL FOOD TRIFLE
A low-fat, low-sugar trifle that the whole family will love! I find that the pudding is usually set by the time I am done adding the other layers so it can be eaten right away. If not, chill in the fridge until the pudding is set. Keep refrigerated (especially if it is warm.)

ENGLISH TRIFLE WITH ANGEL FOOD CAKE
Although this recipe uses a bit of sherry, the alcohol evaporates overnight. You may simply eliminate it if you don't care for alcohol. Two boxes of custard mix or vanilla pudding mix can be substituted for the pastry cream. However, using the pastry cream makes the dessert quite rich!

Tips:
- Choose the right cake: Angel food cake is the traditional choice for trifles, but you can also use other light and fluffy cakes, such as sponge cake or génoise.
- Make your custard the day before: This will give it time to thicken and develop its flavor.
- Don't over-mix the whipped cream: Over-mixing will cause it to become grainy.
- Assemble the trifle just before serving: This will prevent the cake from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Angel food trifle is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light, fluffy, and flavorful, and it is sure to impress your guests. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious angel food trifle that everyone will love.
