Trifle pudding is a classic dessert that originated in England and has been enjoyed for centuries. It is traditionally made with layers of sponge cake, jelly or fruit, custard, and whipped cream, although there are many variations to the recipe. It is a popular dessert for special occasions and celebrations, such as Christmas and birthdays, and is often served in a large glass bowl to showcase the colorful layers. The best part about trifle pudding is that it is a no-bake recipe, which means it can be made in advance and kept in the fridge until ready to serve.

Instructions

1.	Prepare the jelly according to package instructions, pour it into a 9x13 inch dish and let it set.
2.	Cut the sponge cake into small pieces and layer it over the jelly.
3.	In a large bowl, whisk together the custard powder, sugar, and 1 cup of milk.
4.	Heat the remaining milk in a saucepan and add the custard mixture to it, stirring constantly until the custard thickens.
5.	Remove from heat and add vanilla essence. Let the custard cool down completely.
6.	Pour the custard over the sponge cake and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, until set.
7.	Before serving, whip the cream and spread it over the custard layer.
