In the classic version, a small amount of strong wine such as sherry is added to trifles. More precisely, pieces of sponge cake or cookies are soaked in wine or another fragrant alcoholic drink. That's why they aren't quite suitable for children. However, there are also non-alcoholic trifle recipes that can safely be served at children's parties.

A dessert called "trifle" belongs to English cuisine. Different fresh fruits or berries are used for it. They are layered in clear glasses alternately with sponge cake, and between them there's a layer of cream, usually custard. The top is covered with whipped cream and decorated with a mint leaf, a few berries, grated chocolate or nuts.
You can approach making a trifle creatively, without looking into a cookbook or following anyone else's advice. What matters most here is the combination of the ingredients in it. You can use a single kind of berry: strawberries, raspberries, cherries, currants. Or mix several kinds. The same rule applies to fruit. You just have to taste the mixture to make sure the flavor will be harmonious.

Today many people make trifles without a layer of pastry, using only fruit and cream. The cream, by the way, can be made in different ways with different products. And it doesn't have to be custard, though that fits this dessert well. The cream can be whipped, chocolate, caramel or milk-based. You can use ready-made cream from a can. Into glasses or cups, the cream is best piped from a pastry bag. After all, one of the main features of such a dessert is the beauty of its presentation.
