Expert Tips:

Want to add a little kick to this trifle? Lightly soak the ladyfingers in a mixture of amaretto and cream!
For the best flavor, try to use the sweetest berries possible! While it's more expensive, we found that organic berries tend to be much sweeter.
The heavy cream needs to be cold to whip properly!
Keep the sides as clean/neat as you can to have gorgeous and distinct layers.
