Trifles are a cold dessert, made both plain and elaborately decorated. This dessert can be made with sherry, fruit juice or liqueur-soaked sponge cake in the base of a large or individual serving dish, covered with layers of fruit, jelly, custard and whipped cream in various combinations. It is very easy and yummy; great for summer cookouts and potluck dinners.

- Angel Food Cake
- 30 ounces Tropical Fruit, drained
- 30 ounces Fruit Cocktail, drained

Directions
Step 1
Cut or rip Angel Food Cake into chunks.
