A mouth-watering Strawberry Trifle recipe taken from the Retro Classics Cookbook.
A fool-like 'trifle' appeared in a cookery book in 1585, but the dessert we know and love, combining cake, booze, fruit (or jelly), custard and cream has been popular ever since Hannah Glasse published her recipe for 'A Grand Trifle' in 1760.

- Trifle sponges 4 (approx. 110g/4oz), broken into pieces
- Strawberries 350g (12oz), sliced

Sherry or marsala 2-4 tbsp
- Reduced fat custard 425g can
- Double cream 200ml (7fl oz)
