Peach and Salted Caramel Trifle is a classic British dessert made with sponge fingers, peaches, custard, and cream. The addition of salted caramel really takes this sweet treat to the next level and it’s ideal for entertaining a crowd.
I should have been entertaining my husband’s cousins tomorrow, but we have had to call it off because of the snow. However, I had already bought all the stuff for this trifle recipe so I made it anyway. We will be eating it all week, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing is it?
This photograph really doesn’t do the Peach and Salted Caramel Trifle justice. You’ll have to take my word for it that it tastes divine!

I LOVE trifle, but my husband is not a fan so I never make it. This one though, looks so luscious I can imagine eating the whole thing myself (straight out of the bowl, for breakfast!)
