Notes

[‘Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better volume.’, ‘Do not overwhip the cream to avoid grainy texture.’, ‘Use fresh berries for best flavor and texture; if using frozen, thaw and drain well.’, ‘Assemble the trifle no more than 2 hours before serving to prevent sogginess.’, ‘Optional: substitute coconut cream for a dairy-free version.’, ‘Optional: brush angel food cake slices with berry liqueur or Grand Marnier for an adult version.’, ‘Optional: add lemon curd beneath berries for a tangy twist.’]
