Trifle is a traditional dessert with its roots in British cuisine, where it has been enjoyed for centuries as a festive and colorful creation. Originally, trifle consisted of layers of sponge cake soaked in liquor, accompanied by cream, fruits, and jelly, creating a perfect balance of textures and flavors. In Latin America, this dessert may have different names or adaptations depending on the country, although the concept of sweet and creamy layers is constant. In places like Mexico and Peru, it may be called trifle or sweet vichyssoise, while in other countries it resembles traditional layered desserts with native ingredients. Sherry trifle, as its name indicates, incorporates sherry wine to give it a special and elegant touch that has become popular thanks to its unique and sophisticated flavor.
