  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, heavy cream, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Make sure your custard is cooked properly. It should be thick and creamy, and it should coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, continue cooking it over low heat until it thickens.
  • Chill the custard completely before assembling the trifles. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Layer the trifles in the order specified in the recipe. This will ensure that the flavors and textures are balanced.
  • Serve the trifles immediately or chill them for later. If you're chilling them, be sure to bring them to room temperature before serving.
