Note

Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved before adding ice to prevent clumps.

For best results, assemble the trifle a few hours ahead of time to allow flavors to meld.

You can substitute angel food cake with sponge cake or pound cake for a denser texture.

If you prefer a vegan option, use vegan gelatin, plant-based milk for the pudding, and dairy-free whipped topping.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
