Like many words in the English language, “trifle” has a number of definitions. When used in one sense, it can mean something of little value or importance but when you are talking about a trifle dessert, we all recognize that it has extreme value.
A trifle is a dessert that is made of sponge cake and fruit and it is covered with layers of jelly, custard and cream. When you make this colorful trifle, you will find that it disappears from the table so quickly that you will wonder if it was ever there in the first place!
