Mini Trifles (Caramel Flavor)

This is a Mini Trifle recipe I love to make on the weekends. It’s easy to prepare, and each time I can enjoy different flavors. Plus, everyone gets their own share

Why make one big trifle when you can make Mini Trifles that everyone will enjoy? This dessert is always on my weekend list. I don’t make it every time, but it’s one of the most enjoyable desserts I love preparing.

I made these Mini Trifles with caramel flavor, but you can customize them to suit different tastes. Try using strawberry or chocolate instead, just follow the same directions. The preparation was easy, with no mess or long wait, and as I mentioned, the results were delicious.

I made 4 cups since there are 4 of us at home, but you can easily double the recipe if you need more.
