- If you don't have any caramel sauce, you can make your own by melting 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and turned a deep amber color.
- You can also use store-bought whipped cream if you don't want to make your own. Just be sure to whip it until it forms stiff peaks before using.
- To make the trifles ahead of time, assemble them up to 24 hours before serving. Just be sure to cover them tightly and store them in the refrigerator.

Pear and caramel trifles are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making them a great option for busy hosts.
