Trifle is a classic British dessert that's been enjoyed for centuries. This version, the Royal Canadian Trifle, adds sherry and fruit cocktail to the traditional recipe for added flavor and texture. It's a dessert that's perfect for special occasions or as a show-stopping center piece for a dinner party. The layers of sponge cake, fruit jelly, custard, and whipped cream combine to create a deliciously sweet and creamy dessert.

Instructions
