Notes
A traditional English Trifle calls for custard - if you have time and don't mind making custard go ahead. Using vanilla pudding is a shortcut and tastes great.
If you prefer to use a different booze to soak the lady fingers in, go ahead with your favorite. It's a traditional English thing, to use cream sherry.
