  • Don't overcook the pastry cream: Pastry cream should be thick and creamy, but not too thick or it will be difficult to spread. Cook it over medium heat and stir constantly until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Let the trifle chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to set. Chill it for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Garnish the trifle with whipped cream, fresh fruits, or chocolate shavings: This will make it look more festive and appealing.
