Strawberry trifle is a classic English dessert dating back to the 16th century. This luscious layered treat typically consists of sponge cake or ladyfingers soaked in sherry or fruit juice, topped with a rich custard, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries. Renowned chefs like Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson have put their own spin on this beloved dessert, incorporating variations such as adding jelly or using different types of berries. The best versions of this dish can be found in traditional English tearooms and upscale restaurants across the UK. The key to a perfect trifle lies in the quality of the custard and the freshness of the strawberries. For a unique twist, some chefs substitute the traditional sherry with champagne for a touch of elegance. Whether enjoyed at a quaint countryside inn or a posh London eatery, strawberry trifle continues to delight dessert enthusiasts worldwide.
