I'm not sure what went wrong, but my trifle didn't turn out very well. The pudding was too thick and the macaroons were soggy.

This trifle is a bit too complicated for me to make on a weeknight. I would recommend it for a weekend project.

I had some trouble finding macaroons, but I was able to find them at a specialty grocery store. They're definitely worth the effort to find!

This trifle is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good dessert. I would recommend using less sugar in the pudding mixture.
