Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best enjoyed within two days, but it can last up to three days.
  • Freezing: It’s not recommended to freeze the trifle as the texture of the whipped topping and cake may change upon thawing.
  • Pairing: This trifle pairs wonderfully with a light herbal tea or a refreshing lemonade, enhancing the lemony flavors.
  • Variations: Feel free to experiment with different fruits or even add layers of crushed cookies in between for a delightful crunch.
  • Presentation: For an extra touch, serve with a sprig of mint on top to add color and a hint of freshness.
