Definición y Significado de "trifle"

What is "trifle"?

Trifle is a traditional British dessert that consists of layers of sponge cake, custard, fruit, and whipped cream. The dessert is typically made by layering pieces of sponge cake in the bottom of a glass bowl, then adding a layer of fruit, such as strawberries, raspberries, or peaches. This is followed by a layer of custard, which is made by heating milk, sugar, and eggs until thick and creamy, and then allowing it to cool. The process is repeated until the bowl is full, and the trifle is then topped with a layer of whipped cream. Trifle can be customized with different flavors and ingredients, such as sherry or brandy, jelly, or chopped nuts. It is often served chilled and is a popular dessert for holidays and special occasions.
