Dessert
British

The history of Fruit Trifle dates back to 16th century England, where it was initially known as a "fool," consisting of layers of custard, fruit, and cake. Over time, the addition of sherry or rum became popular, transforming the traditional dessert into an adult indulgence. Renowned chefs like Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson have put their own spin on the classic trifle, incorporating a splash of rum to elevate the flavors. Today, the best versions of this adult treat can be found in upscale restaurants and bakeries, where the balance of rum-soaked sponge cake, creamy custard, and fresh fruits creates a decadent delight for the senses. For a perfect adult trifle, it's crucial to use high-quality rum and fresh, seasonal fruits to achieve a harmonious blend of flavors.
