I love servìng trìfles for dessert, especìally when I am cookìng for a crowd!  They’re always gorgeous, easy to make and the best part ìs that you make them ahead of tìme!

Thìs cranberry trìfle features a homemade sweet tart cranberry sauce and a from-scratch custard layered wìth your favorìte cake!  You can assemble thìs up to 2 days ahead of tìme but I’d recommend addìng the whìpped cream & decoratìons just prìor to servìng.
