OK, a trifle is a great dessert! You get a large glass bowl (I like using one of the huge margareta glasses you get from the craft store for presentation), and layer the bottom with lady fingers. You can brush the lady fingers with Brandy, or not. Then a layer of HOMEMADE whipped cream, then a layer of whatever fruit you want, but traditionally its strawberry. Then repeat. I also like to put some chocolate shavings on top of mine. Its very yummy, and a good treat to make for a party because you can make it in advance - its better if it sits for 6-12 hours!
