FAQs
1. Can I use frozen fruit?
Yes, you can use frozen fruit, but for the best texture, let it thaw and pat it dry before layering.
2. How can I make the whipped cream ahead of time?
You can make whipped cream a day ahead. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator. It’s best if you gently re-whip it before adding it to the trifle.
3. Is there a non-dairy option for whipped cream?
Absolutely! Use coconut whipped cream or any store-bought non-dairy whipped topping for a delicious dairy-free alternative.
