Trifles are a British classic, but they’re also the scrappiest no-bake dessert around. Built from leftover cake (or brownies, or cookies), layered with pudding, and served with a queenly crown of whipped cream, trifles are amazing at pleasing a crowd with their towering layers. They’re also surprisingly manageable to make when you’ve got all the basics down.

Here we are showing you the basics on trifle-making with a strawberry shortcake version. Rich with creamy vanilla pudding, studded with ripe strawberries, and perfumed with a vanilla syrup that revives even the stalest of cakes, it will make you love strawberry shortcake even more.

Any home cook who considers dessert better when there’s a make-ahead element needs to know how to make one so today, we are diving deep into the layers that make trifle a triumph of no-bake dessert.
